Who has reviewed the study?

This study has been reviewed and supported by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Health and Social Care, Edge Hill University.

​

Withdrawal

You may withdraw from the study at any time.  If you begin to feel unhappy at any point throughout the research, please contact Chloe and she will try and resolve any issue with/for you. Think carefully about whether you may wish to withdraw before signing the consent form. Please note, that whilst you may withdraw at any time, any data you provide to the study is time sensitive in the withdrawal process. This means that your data can only be withdrawn from the study up to a point, and then it may no longer be possible to withdraw your data. This stage will be highlighted to you by the researcher.
