Q and A for parents, carers and researchers
We have created guidance for researchers wanting to work with children and young people in City of Edinburgh Council schools and early years centres.
What this guidance covers
This Q and A guidance answers common questions about accessing schools and early years centres for research purposes.
It explains
- what permissions you need from parents and carers
- how opt-in consent works
- what requirements you must meet
- how to submit a research access request
Meeting the requirements explained in this guidance makes it more likely your research request will be granted.
