To Whom It May Concern:
I am a postgraduate researcher looking into how the school environment affects young
people who identify or are beginning to identify as having a non-normative sexuality
and/or gender identity. I am interested in the experiences of ANY teachers, about any
issues in this area, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Could you please display this poster in a prominent staff ONLY area. It is not intended to
recruit student participants. All respondents will remain anonymous unless they commit
to involvement in focus groups. Initial inquires to the researcher does not amount to an
agreement to participate.
Sincerely,
