Case studies
- Martin House
A set of information sheets and consent forms for a complex project that involved interviewing staff, parents and children at a hospice. It provides a set of excellent examples of how to tailor these to particular audiences. In addition the application for ethical approval is also attached so that you can see how the issues of consent and information were dealt with.
