Who will own my data once I submit it
Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council (KMBC) will own the data, but participants have the right to withdraw their data at any time.
Why do you need my information?
This year the KMBC Black and Minority Workers group are looking at developing a project merging Black History Month with Knowsley’s fifty (50) years celebrations. Our aim is to interview four black families that have been resident in Knowsley over the fifty years. We aim to interview one family from each of the townships of Knowsley.
- Halewood
- Huyton
- Kirkby
- Stockbridge
This year's theme for Black History Month is “Reclaiming Narratives,” and marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture, by raising awareness through story telling. Each one hour interview will be based on questions relating to the theme of Reclaiming Narratives and living in Knowsley.
