Please see my EES forms below, versions 1-3 with feedback from my tutor, Rachel Marsden.

Version 1: With comments from Rachel

Action taken: I think the first time I filled this in, I didn’t really have a clear idea about what was required, and I also had a lot of questions about which courses to focus on, etc.. Once I started reading more about ethics and had the first tutorial, it became clearer that I needed to be a lot more detailed.

I went through and addressed each of Rachel’s feedback points. On my miro board that I use for resources, I added all the links and made sure I’d read them all. As a result of this, I changed lots of the detail on gaining consent and managing the process of data collection. I also added a lot more information about the potential risks to participants and question 7 about working with vulnerable adults.

Version 2: Feedback from Rachel

Hi Amy, 

Thanks for sending over your latest draft – it’s comprehensive, detailed and responsive to your ARP and so very nearly there! Brilliant to hear about the contingency planning too. 

 In terms of feedback: 

• In section 1, I think these are more your research aims than objectives (the latter are usually the actions you’ll do to achieve the aims, which is AR here). 
• Action taken: I amended the objectives to focus on the forms of data collection.
   
• In terms of the additional information on the focus group task stated in a side comment, I think it’s helpful to include this in the ethical enquiry form or a blog post that you signpost out to? I’ll leave this up to you. 
• Action taken: I’ve added a quote and referenced Standpoint theory in the form.
   
• I’d embolden/make the please complete the participant consent form area stand out on the information sheet as it gets a little lost in the main text. If thinking about it in the context of accessibility and visibility too… 
• Action: I’ve made this bigger and bolder!

I’d be happy to sign off on all this once the updates are made so send over a final form that you’ve signed when ready and I’ll get it signed off. Also do upload the final form, with relevant links to your blog as a reference/record too.

Well done on this milestone Amy, you should be really pleased. 

Rachel
