Accordingly, I will follow ethical approval procedures as required by the IOE- UCL. Furthermore, data will be shared with my supervisor only, and I will keep it in a safe place (BERA, 2011; Thomas, 2013).
As I will be conducting my research project in the same school where I currently work, ethical considerations should taken into account as an insider-researchers as being an insider researcher will be challenging. In fact, educational research literature highlights the advantages and disadvantages of insider research (Schön, 1983; Lomax, 2002, Mercer 2007, Robson, 2011).

In fact, being the head of school, I should be cautious when I conduct the interviews with the participants.

It is important that the participants are able to feel like there was a lot of thought put into the design of the study based on their unique situations. This study allows for the researcher to design their own questions within the survey and then also ask other questions that are not on the survey depending on the answers that they receive from the participants. The qualitative study is also a great tool to get information that people do not usually think to ask about and the participants usually do not get a chance to tell their stories other than in a counseling session if they decide to go to counseling, unless they are in a group that is participating in a research designed
