Nikita Hayden

Current roles

I am a Research Fellow in the Centre for Educational Development, Appraisal and Research at the University of Warwick. I am the study manager for a feasibility study entitled: REducing the risk of criminal exploitation using multiSystEmic Therapy (The RESET Study). I also am an Associate Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study at the University of Warwick and a Research Associate for the UK charity Sibs.

PhD Research

My PhD was entitled 'Siblings of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities: psychological outcomes and sibling relationships'. This project was fully funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). My project received additional funding from the UK charity Sibs.

Background

I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Social Science Research (Distinction) with the University of Warwick's ESRC-Doctoral Training Centre as well as modules in Mixed Methods research with the University of Warwick's Medical School. Prior to this, I studied an MSc at Birkbeck’s Department for Psychosocial Studies in Education, Power and Social Change (Distinction) and I have an LLB Law degree from the University of Reading. I have previously worked for a number of years as a widening participation practitioner and hold a PRINCE2 professional certification.
