Today, I was sent along some additional information in regards to my dissertation preparation from tutor Jill Fernie- Clarke. Due to the ethical subject matter and nature of my dissertation, when interviewing prospective interviewees, the consent form, as shown below, must be filled in and completed to comply with significant laws and privacy protection requirements, along with letting each of the interviewees know what the specific information will be required for.
Looking forward to making a positive start on my dissertation research, just have a lot of Graphic Design module work to get through first! (See both my Design Practice and Design Context blogs for more details).
