LGBT Parenthood survey
What is the LGBT parenthood study?
The LGBT parenthood study is a national survey of LGBT parents and LGBT people planning to become parents. It aims to find out the experiences and diversity of needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) parents and those who are planning to become parents. The study has been commissioned out by the LGBT Diversity programme: Building Sustainable LGBT Communities.
What is the LGBT Diversity programme?
LGBT Diversity is a programme to build the capacity of the LGBT sector in Ireland. It aims to facilitate LGBT organisations and activists to collectively mobilise and engage with the wider community in order to advocate strategically and effectively on gender identity and sexuality orientation issues. It has regional programmes in the Midlands, South East and the North West of Ireland. For further information see www.lgbtdiversity.com
Who should complete the questionnaire?
The questionnaire is for LGBT parents and LGBT people who are planning to be parents. This includes biological and non-biological parents, guardians, adoptive parents and foster parents, living with or separately from their Child/children of all ages. You need to be over-18 years of age to complete the questionnaire and also living in the Republic of Ireland.
What is the purpose of the questionnaire?
The questionnaire aims to find out about the experiences and needs of LGBT parents and those planning to be parents in Ireland. This is the first time that a study of this nature has been carried out in Ireland. We know very little of the experiences and situation of LGBT parents in Ireland and we hope to build up a picture of these experiences so that we can inform service provision and policy changes for LGBT parents. The study is important because the needs of LGBT parents and those planning to be parents often go unnoticed.
Is the questionnaire confidential?
Yes, the information that you provide is completely CONFIDENTIAL which means that the answers you give will be kept private. The survey is anonymous which means you don’t need to give us your name to fill in the survey and no one will be able to connect the information you give with you personally.
Who is conducting the survey?
The survey is being undertaken by independent researchers, Paula Fagan and Dr. Jane Pillinger. Both researchers have a background in social policy research including research into LGBT equality issues and both bring to their work a strong professional and personal commitment to working towards equality in the LGBT community.
Starts in the Other Place On the 1st Feb 2011
I was born in 1981, and have always wanted to be an artist. I was involved in several art groups and endeavours from my teens to the present, most noticably The Chispa Mural Project in 1998-99 as well as local community centres and fund raisers for the lgbt community, (The Quilt of Hope a painted panel on behalf of the ucc lgbt society, 2001). I studied Archaeology and Classical Civilisations in UCC for several years, ending in 2006.
I have exhibited and made art in between life and lectures mostly, anywhere I could sit and draw. I like to paint the lines and shapes in everything, people, portraits, objects and overlap them, to see both together at the same time. I like to sew and make historical clothing for weekends when I go off and be a viking with like minded re enactors, as well as learning new art techniques and applications all the time.The art in this display may seem random but it represents pieces I have worked on between classes and relationships, commissions and idle time, most started but rarely finished as new ideas appeared to me, combining images and designs from older art forms, myths and music, with modern designs and incorporating them into my work. Though I like to present this in negative line imagery I am not bound to the idea and will work any idea the best way it will fit in my mind.
