OBTAINING INFORMED CONSENT





As part of your procedures for ensuring ethics, you will need to obtain informed consent from your research participants or from their legal guardians. In order to adequately inform your participants about what they are agreeing to before they sign, it is common practice to:

 a. Provide a written document on university letterhead, signed by you and by your research supervisor, explaining:

  1. What the research is about, in general terms; 
  2. How the recordings will be carried out; 
  3. How the recordings will be stored now and in the future; 
  4. How the data will be used in the research and who will have access to it; 
  5. How the anonymity of the participant will be protected when presenting the data; 
  6. How the participant can contact you or your supervisor to access the data and the results of your study, as well as to withdraw from the project should they wish. 
b. Explain the information on the written document orally to the participant or their legal guardian and allow them to ask any questions.

c. Obtain signed informed consent. In the resources section you can download a suggested model.
