    Welcome to the community @NatalieMSLS :) Your research sounds really interesting, so thanks for thinking of us. 

    We do allow research to be posted on the community, but we have to check a couple of things first. I can see you've already outlined your confidentiality policy, which is great. Would you be able to send us a version of the consent form to community@scope.org.uk? We can then verify that this research is right for the community, and can add your email address back into the post. 

    I've also moved your post into our events, research, and opportunities category, as that's the only place we allow research to be posted.
