I confirm that I am currently meeting the pre-requisites for E105 as set out in the pre-registration information for students and have valid Agreement with Confirmer Forms.
For this EMA I have only used material drawn from the settings identified on my employer Permission Agreement Forms.
In the TMA’s and in completing this EMA I have adhered to the E105 ethical guidance by
• I have approached and sent out a letter to the parents in both my settings, informing and explaining to them the studies that I am undertaking and the need to observe and involve their children in activities set out by me.
• Providing the opportunity for staff, parents and children to ask any questions about what I was doing also informing them of the right to withdraw at any time if they wished to do so.
• Gaining informed consent from the parents – consent form filed in my PEF folder
• Gaining informed consent from the children by telling them what I was doing and why, and asking them if they were happy for me to observe them.
• Changing all names within the assignments so that the individuals cannot be identified.
