The University has produced two useful research ethics documents; the first is a helpful guide to preparing your participant information sheet and the second is a sample consent form. Both documents can be accessed on the Research Ethics page on the blog.
If your research involves human participation, please take a look at the documents and discuss them with your supervisor/ethics representative if you have any questions.
These documents were drafted in consultation with the school’s ethics representatives and they are meant to be guidelines of best practice.
