MA research:

Health and Social Research Methods – focus group on attempts to measure health and well-being, using HADS (hospital anxiety and depression scale) form with adults in community-based settings.
Research in to the reality of being a teenage mother in England in 2009.
Dissertation – An exploration into the value of using a youth-work approach to environmental youth volunteering projects – involved questionnaires and individual interviews, and made use of a narrative approach. One of the most notable findings was of the concern that exists amongst environmentalists about the increasing disconnectivity that children and young people have from the natural environment.

University Certificate (Postgraduate Level) in Education for Sustainability: this involved research into the equality of opportunity for involvement of young people in environmental education activities by conducting a local survey (questionnaires) amongst colleagues, and reviewing a recent survey conducted by environmental staff at a partner organisation.
