Research access to Edinburgh schools and early years centres

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 Âé¶¹Ó³»­ 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.
