Declarations
:
: Permission was obtained from the University of Durham School of Education Ethics Committee on October 18th, 2022. Written and verbal informed and voluntary consent was received prior to starting the recording of each interview and conducting an online questionnaire. Any participant uncomfortable with completing the informed consent waiver or recording the interview was provided the opportunity to withdraw from the study.
: Participants were informed primarily through the Participant Information pack of additional documents that included separate consent forms for the research project, interviews, and an online survey. A number of additional documents accompanied these documents, which explain the purpose and aims of the project as well as how participants can withdraw their consent. These included a Debriefing sheet, Participant information sheet, and Privacy notice sheet. This project used written consent forms that specifically asked participants for their consent to allow their anonymous data to be used in various publications, including the PhD thesis as well as possible future journals, articles, and conferences. As part of the participant information packs, participants are informed that their comments made during interviews or responses to open-ended survey questionnaires will be published along with the Ph.D. thesis, as well as future articles, journals, and publications.
