A research project
An InvitationYou are being invited to take part in a
research project. Before you make up your
mind it is important for you to understand
why the research is being done and what
will happen. Please read the following
information carefully. You can talk about it
with other people if you would like to. Ask
us if there is anything that is not clear or if
you want to know anything. Take time to
decide whether or not you want to take part
and talk to other people about this if you
would like to. Thank you for reading this.
Why Are We Doing This?Some people with learning disabilities
might like to join slimming clubs like
Slimming World. But sometimes they
might find it difficult to join a club, or to
take part. The aim of this project is to find
out what people with learning disabilities
need to help them to join slimming clubs, if they
want to.V5 17-4-14 1
Why Have I Been Asked?You have been chosen because
you have a learning disability. You
know about the kinds of things
that make it easier to for you join
groups and clubs. You know
about the kinds of information that
is useful to you.
Do I have to take part?It is up to you to decide if you want to take part. If
you do decide to take part you will be given this
information sheet to keep. You will also sign a
form to say you want to take part. You can
change your mind at any time. You do not have
to give a reason. Nothing will happen to you if you
change your mind about taking part. If you change
your mind after talking to us, please let us know
within a week. After a week, anything you already
said may be used for the research. This is
because it may be hard to separate and
cut out what you said.
