This pilot project has Ethical Approval from the University of Chichester (code number 2122_38) and West Sussex County Council. In order to ensure compliance and transparency with GDPR, Consent forms and Information for Participants will be provided before any research data is collected and participants will have the opportunity to leave the study and to withdraw consent. Signed Consent forms will be stored in a locked draw for five years.

There will be no audio-visual recorded data apart from photographs which will not contain identifying details. All data will be anonymised and any defining characteristics will be altered. Data will be stored in encrypted files until there is no immediate need when it will be destroyed. In most cases this will be until the end of the project when it will be destroyed. Data from the photographs and narrative entries will be transferred via Password protected email to secure University addresses. The data will be immediately anonymised and any identifying information destroyed. 

The University of Chichester and West Sussex County Council form a DfE Teaching partnership which will hold ultimate ownership of the completed data. The University Data Protection Officer is accountable for compliance with GDPR.
