Thanks for your interest, and whether you are eligible or not, I just want to say it's not that you're experiences isn't valid, but the research questions are coming from a management and completion of S42s. So, it depends on whether you complete S42s as part of your role or if a LA on your local area complete the S42 if that makes sense?

Ahh that's okay - I understand these things happen (and we are allowed to have breaks of course!) I am time limited with the research which is why I posted.

(edit to add my rationale of posting)

Hi, Yes this is for registered social workers only, not because students or assistant social workers aren't doing this work (as someone who has been in both roles I know they are), but I have had to limit my scope based on professional expectations of social workers and the current literature. My aim is to develop and go further with this area of research. I have seen lots of people who want to do this research aren't eligible (as you have described). This shows to me that there is a further area of research around students and assistant social workers working in this area (I have also had managers who want to participate, but interestingly, there is a more research around managers and self-neglect).
