'No' responses

For ‘no’ responses, complete the related ‘Reason’ event with a brief explanation of why the answer was no. eg:
•    the event is ‘~VACANCY ADVERTISED – Y/N’
•    the vacancy was not advertised so ‘N’ is recorded in the comments when the event is completed. 
•    the event ‘~VACANCY NOT ADVERTISED – REASON’ needs to also be completed and the explanation as to why the vacancy was not advertised is added to the comments. 
For yes responses, the related ‘... – REASON’ event can be left blank.
