Dear all,
I do hope some of you will be able to help me out with this request!!
I, as a mum of three and have gone on from my OU psychology honours to do a MSc in Organisational and Occupational Psychology at the University of Surrey!! That said, I am hoping that all you mums and dads will - in one way or another - be able to offer me your help and support with my current study.
I am seeking your help in regards to an ongoing study into parenting in the work context by the University of Surrey. The study has met the ethical standards and is being supervised by Dr Millward (PhD, CPsychol, DOP, AFBPS, reader in psychology).
This study aims to obtain data on how SINGLE WORKING PARENTS within the UK negotiate and experience their work and family lives because NO study exists for this group. If you meet the criteria - or know of anyone else that does - and are happy to proceed please access the secure link (below) to enable us to have a better understanding of how you experience your work and family lives. It is hoped that this research will be able to highlight the difficulties faced by single working parents, such as you.
By participating you will need to complete a short online questionnaire taking between 5-10 minutes. Your participation is voluntary and you are free to withdraw at any time. There are no right or wrong answers. All data is anonymous, will be kept strictly confidential and will not be used for any other purposes. Also be reassured that once you've completed the questionnaire you will not be contacted again and that your responses cannot be traced back to you. Please aim to answer these questions as honestly as possible. If you consent and are happy to proceed please access the secure online link:

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated as without you this study would not be possible. Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
