In the final sections of Chapter 8 of the Module Reader, Flewitt summarises many of the ethical issues that interviewers need to consider before understanding research. Flewitt considers the importance of thinking through the power imbalances between the researcher and the participant, building up a rapport with the participants, assuring confidentiality and seeking proper consent to take part in an interview. All of these must be thought through before beginning an interview – with an adult or child. Danby et al. address the issue of building rapport with Tammy in their article; however, the more obvious ethical issues of confidentiality and consent are not addressed. It is possible that this is because of the nature of this research article – an article aimed primarily at looking at the interview situation from a methodological point of view, rather than from the point of view of the data that the interview produced. However, given Tammy's age, it is surprising that we are not told more about how the researcher gained access to the setting and what permissions she needed to gain before carrying out the interview. Although Tammy was only five at the time of being involved, she would have been capable of understanding her part in the research process and being able to give her own form of informed consent. It is possible that another researcher, in the same situation, may not have taken Tammy’s lack of involvement in interview one as a simple ‘closing down’ reaction, but as a means of showing that she was not happy with being interviewed and did not wish to continue. As a result, Interview Two may not have gone ahead.
