Plain Language Statement and Consent

Why are we doing this project?

Research tells us that set gender roles can lead to gender inequality – one of the key factors leading to men’s violence against women. Challenging gender stereotypes can help children to build respectful and equal relationships, express emotions in a healthy way and promotes gender equity.

Free to Be Me (F2BM) is an online program that aims to support early childhood services and educators to create environments where children can be free to be whoever they are, without the restriction of gender stereotypes.

Data collection

We are seeking your consent to collect and use the information you provide in the F2BM online program (including future use), to evaluate the impact of the program. Evaluation is an opportunity for us to learn how well this program supports early childhood services to provide an environment that promotes gender equity and challenges gender stereotypes.

The information we plan to collect and use for the evaluation include:

  1. Registration details:
    • Name (first & surname)
    • Role title
    • Email
    • Phone number
  2. Completed surveys:
    • These surveys will help us assess the effectiveness of the program.
  3. Completed Assessment Tools and Quality Improvement Plans:
    • These tools will help us understand if the program has led to positive changes in your service’s practices.
  4. Youtube and website analytics:
    • This data will include information about clicks, such as page views, data entry, document upload or download, and hyperlinks. It will help us understand how participants interact with our online portal.

Future use of the data, specifically aggregated data from completed surveys, assessment tools and quality improvement plans and YouTube and website analytics, may include:

  • publishing to add to the gender equity and health promotion evidence base
  • Analysing the pre and post survey results to learn about changes in different groups over time
  • Sharing in our organisational annual report and other prevention publications
  • Sharing with agencies that are measuring collective impact, for example Women’s Health East, Department of Health.
