What to Include in Your Consent PDF
Clients will typically use their standard terms of research or existing consent form templates.
However, if you are new to preparing a consent form, here are some pointers on what our clients may commonly include:
✅ Project Purpose - a short description of the research project and its objectives.
✅ Participation Details - what is expected of respondents, including estimated time commitment and types of activities (e.g., diary tasks, photo uploads, video responses).
✅ Data Use - how responses and personal data will be used, stored, and shared, and if relevant, deleted.
✅ Confidentiality - statements about anonymity, data protection, and whether responses will be shared with third parties.
✅ Voluntary Participation - clarification that participation is voluntary and that respondents may withdraw at any time.
✅ Contact Information - details on how respondents can contact the researcher or support if they have questions.
Ensure to review your own legal, compliance, and data privacy requirements internally to ensure that the consent you collect is appropriate for your project.
