‘Parents in the Pandemic’ Research

Most recently, I have been involved in a research project exploring parental experiences during the Covid-19 Lockdown in the UK. Working with colleagues from University of Liverpool, the project has involved a qualitative survey of parents in March 2020 lockdown, follow up interviews of parents, a diary study and a follow up qualitative survey in the February 2021 lockdown.
I was successful in obtaining funding to assist with the data analysis for this process through the R1 funding process (Approx £2,500) and to present the findings at an international conference (£1350).
Early findings were released for the project; https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/news/parents-say-they-were-better-prepared-but-2021-lockdown-has-been-the-toughest-yet; https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/news/survey-suggests-covid-19-could-have-long-term-benefits-for-family-life; JAN22 Paternal Experiences During the Pandemic | Piktochart Visual Editor
As a consequence, I have been interviewed by Heart FM regarding the findings and have contributed to numerous internet media sources, such as blogs and podcasts.
