Research on SRE (Sex and Relationships education)

Bianca

Hi

My name is Bianca and I am a 3rd year BSc Psychology student at University of Southampton. I have been working for hampshire Autistic Society for about 1 year as a support worker for teenagers and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am very passionate about ASD and I have decided to dedicate my final year research project on this. My research proposal has been approved by the University ethics commitee and so it is regarding staff's attitudes on Sex and Relationship Education for teenagers and young people with ASD. 

I am currently recruiting participants and I would very much appreciate your participation. I can send you the questions in advance and you can have a look and then decide if it would be ok to participate.

It only takes about half an hour and, due to ethics reasons, you will not mention anybody's name. Also, all information will be kept confidential and presented anonymised.

Please let me know if you would like to take part, as I would be extrenely grateful of your precious time. If you have any questions or would like to take part please email me at [removed by moderator].

Thank you so much

Bianca

  • I agree with Hotel california. We need a clearer means of distinguishing research that has had permission.

    Could there be a discussion section that is exclusively approved research requests. Then we would know any others are not approved.

    It is important that people on here don't impart confidences to what are undergraduate third year projects for the most part, and are not likely to benefit understanding of autism, as they are simply assessed coursework.

    This is particularly important where information about children or vulnerable adults may be disclosed.

    Also I wish there is a way by which NAS could report such infringements to the universities concerned. It isn't allowed for undergraduates to do this, and it is lax research supervision that enables it to happen.

    I do wonder sometimes if a group of students with similar dissertation topics watches here as guests, as one of their number registers and puts in a request to see what they get away with, and if they slip though they might do it as well.

    If universities were notified this was happening, via the Vice Chancellor's office or the Dean of Faculty coveing Health Sciences or Psychology, the word would get back to teaching staff to be stricter about dissertation data gathering.

    Students in the current course fees climate are much more savvy and much less scared of authority, whereas academic staff are under pressure to treat students as paying customers, and not discourage enterprise.

    But that leaves sites like this very vulnerable to abuse.
