Consent and Assent Form Exemplars (Appendix E)

The Consent Form and Assent Form Exemplars provide you with forms for use by participants in your research. There are two documents. One is a collection of Consent and Assent Forms for use in a variety of situations and with participants who have normal levels of literacy. The other is a combined Information Sheet and Assent Form specifically designed by Early Childhood Educators for use by parents or guardians with pre-literate children.

You are advised:

• that incomplete applications will not be considered by AUTEC;
• that you should alter the wording of this exemplar so that it accurately reflects the nature of your research;
• to download the form from the web each time you need to use it to ensure that you are using the latest version.
