SIPR ECR Grants Awarded

SIPR is delighted to announce that three awards were made following the recent early career researcher grant call. Our congratulations go to Dr Corinne Fenech of Glasgow Caledonian University, Dr Estelle Clayton of Edinburgh Napier University, and Dr Grant Barclay of the University of Edinburgh. 

The details of each of the funded projects are below.

Dr Corinne Fenech’s project aims to enable capacity building through a better understanding of the contemporary ethical challenges faced by police officers in Scotland.

Dr Estelle Clayton’s project aims to identify best practices, primary and secondary benefits experienced amongst ambassadors regarding neurodiversity and policing, and learning outcomes from this pilot.

Finally, Dr Grant Barclay’s project will explore the critical differences between the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA) and the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Scotland) Act 2015 (HTESA), their specific emphases on protection provisions for victims (who may simultaneously be accused persons), and associated implications for policing first-responders, prosecution, and consistency of enforcement
