CONSENT TO THE USE OF DATA
University of Glasgow, College of Arts Research Ethics Committee

I understand that ____________Jane Denniston__________is collecting data in the form of recorded interviews for use in an academic research project at the University of Glasgow. 

In this study I aim to research the role of pastoral supervision with specific reference to the supervision of candidates in training for the ministry of the Church of Scotland in providing the space for and encouraging the development of fruitful reflective practice. I aim to evaluate the current training programme for supervisors of candidates and assess its success in preparing supervisors to offer positive but rigorous supervision in preparation for ministry. This evaluation will lead to the development of the training programme to ensure that the experience of supervision, and the pedagogical experience of placement, is both of a high standard and uniformly available across placements.

For this project I will interview a selected pool of candidates and supervisors both before and after the supervisors have received refresher training in supervision. I will then test the findings through the use of focus groups.

Data will be collected through the use of semi-structured interviews and focus groups.

I give my consent to the use of data for this purpose on the understanding that:

•	All names and other material likely to identify individuals will be anonymised.
•	The material will be treated as confidential and kept in secure storage at all times.
•	The material will be retained in secure storage for use in future academic research
•	The material may be used in future publications, both print and online.
