Low Risk Project

 

​It sounds like you are going to be doing a Low Risk Project. This means it involves conditions where the risks of harm are not greater or more likely than those encountered in everyday life. You should read the WMSF Policy Participation of Humans in Research - Low Risk just to be sure. 

​

Before you begin your Low Risk Project, here are the things you need to know:

• Your project will need an Adult Supervisor who has read the above mentioned Policy and will make sure the project is compliant. This can be a parent or teacher, etc. 

• You will need to create a Letter of information that will be given to each of your Participants before they participate in your project.

• You will need to create a Permission Form that your Participants or (their legal guardian if they are under 18) must sign and return to you before they participate in your project.
