Consent Form for Students

I understand that:

• I will be doing a survey about what children and young people think and believe about religion and spirituality;
• Participation in this survey is voluntary which means I do not have to take part if I don’t want to and nothing will happen to me;
• There are no right or wrong answers and if I don’t want to answer some of the questions that is fine;
• I can stop at any time and this will not upset anybody;
• My answers might be included in a report written by the research team, but no-one will know that it was me saying these things because my name and the name of my school wont be used;
• If I have any worries about the discussion then I can talk about these with my teacher, Brad, Richard or Anne.
