How will my story be captured?

The young people involved in this project will be video-recorded responding to the following question:

What do reading and writing help you do?

To amplify the voices of non-speaking young people with complex needs, we would like to share these videos widely. This will also help highlight the importance of teaching literacy to all.

Where will the videos be shared?

The Teach Us Too and BackPocketTeacher websites and through other aspects of their work related to young people with complex needs. We are also eager to obtain support and publicity for Transformational Tales from local, national, and international news/media outlets.

Can my young person be involved without their identity being shared?

Yes, your young person can be involved without their real name or identifiable features being shared. In this circumstance, the young person will be referred to by a pseudonym and their face will be pixelated.

How will my data be stored?

All information collected about you and your young person during the project will be stored safely and securely in line with the Teach Us Too GDPR Policy.

What if I say ‘yes’ and then change my mind?

If you would like to withdraw from the project you can do so at any time without having to give a reason. All of yours and your young person’s, data and video recordings will be permanently deleted.

Who needs to complete the consent form?

The consent form needs to be completed either by the parent/guardian of the young person or, if appropriate, by the young person themselves. Schools may initiate participation in this project but must consult fully with the young person and their family to ensure they understand the project and ensure that the appropriate consent form is completed prior to filming.
