Thesis research

Hello! My name’s Eleri, I’m a trainee educational psychologist at Cardiff University. For my thesis research, I would like to hear from parents/carers of young adults with Down Syndrome across Wales. I would like to explore what it was like for their young person to become an adult during the Covid-19 pandemic.

• Are you a parent/carer of a young adult with Down Syndrome?

• Is your young adult 21-29 years old (and so they were 18-25 years old during the first lockdown in March 2020)?

• Have you both lived in Wales since the first lockdown (March 2020)?

If your answer is ‘yes’ to the questions above, I would love to hear from you. The research will involve a one-to-one interview with myself lasting up to one hour, either in person or online depending on your preference or the distance between us. We can use English or Welsh.

Please see my research video (Research Video.mp4). If you are interested in taking part, please email me on daviesen1@cardiff.ac.uk. If you would like to talk more about my research before deciding to take part, we can arrange a phone or video call.

Thanks very much for your time and consideration.
