About Obtaining Parent or Caregiver Permission when Surveying Young People

Read about why collecting informed consent is critical before you begin surveying young people.

It’s necessary to get permission to collect data from the young people in your program, but it doesn’t have to be a hassle. If you don’t have a standard consent for already, we offer a few different types of consent forms to suit various organizational needs. You can further adapt these to your program’s context. If you have a legal or compliance department, you should check with them for final approval.
