Hello
We've put together a new system to allow participants to upload their
General Consent forms directly to us over the Internet. We hope this
will provide an easier and more secure way for you to get participants
registered.
I've attached 2 documents, one which includes details for the Project
Investigator (/YNiC Upload System Instructions.pdf/) and one you can
send to the participant
(/YNIC_Document_Upload_Guide_for_participants//.pdf/) with instructions
on how to upload their form.
We do specify that you need to print out the General Consent form so it
can be completed by hand and signed. We realise that not everyone has a
printer at home and so it can be tricky to obtain a printed out copy.
*_Online PDF Editors_*
We're looking at a better way to get the form completed online without
the need to print. Online PDF editors must **not** be used. Most require
you to upload the form to be completed, potentially leaving a signed
consent form full of personal details with an unknown third party.
Some software packages like *Adobe Acrobat Reader* allow you to fill in
and sign the form then export it as a pdf. University students/staff
should have access to this on the VDS (Virtual Desktop Service). There
is also a mobile/tablet version called *Adobe Fill & Sign* which also
allows you to fill in and sign the form. Please do **not** use Microsoft
Word as it will mess up the formatting.
As before, you can still bring the form into YNiC or send it in the post
and the form should reach us 24 hours before the session.
If you have any questions, please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk.
Thanks
Joe
