  • Parental / Guardian Consent to Participate in Beyond Differences Research

    During the current 2020-2021 school year, Beyond Differences may seek your child’s feedback on their experience in our program to help improve programming efforts. As a youth-led organization, we highly value and continuously seek to learn from our youth participants’ input.

    If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child who may participate in Beyond Differences this school year, your permission via this form is required for us to be able to include your child in our research process to help inform the organization’s planning and decision-making.

    Below are more details, followed by a section seeking your consent.

    DESCRIPTION: With your permission, your child may be invited to participate in ongoing program evaluation to better understand how Beyond Difference’s programming is being implemented, how its programming is perceived and experienced by participants, and how its efforts may be improved.

    She/he/they may be asked to participate in a focus group and/or asked to complete a short survey during a regularly scheduled meeting time with Beyond Differences. This program evaluation values and appreciates your child’s open and honest perspective – there are no ‘right’ answers.

    Please note that your child’s individual privacy would be protected, and his or her anonymity would be maintained in all informal and formal publications and communications resulting from the study.

    Your decision whether or not to allow your child to participate in this research/feedback process is completely voluntary and will not affect his/her participation in Beyond Differences programs or activities. Furthermore, if you give your permission for your child to participate in this survey or focus group research, please understand his/her participation is voluntary and s/he has the right to discontinue participation at any time. S/he also has the right to skip or refuse to answer particular questions.
