: The data collected from the study was done in accordance with the ethical guidelines from the University of Nottingham as part of Dr. Ashley Lewis’ Ph.D project. It gained approval from the committee of the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Nottingham.
: As part of the ethics approval process, Dr. Lewis gained informed consent from the Project participants (including the other co-authors) in winter 2017. Information sheets and consent forms were distributed to project participants prior to data collection and an opportunity was given to participants to answer questions or discuss the research before agreeing to sign the consent form. For this specific paper, Dr. Lewis sought additional consultation from the School of Sociology and Social Policy ethics officer to enquire about using autoethnographic data. The officer recommended that all co-authors agree in writing that they voluntary offer their reflections as data as part of this paper and choose which information to include as they see fit. This written consent was conducted in January 2021.
