Informed Consent

Captions available

The idea

Informed consent means a person agrees to take part knowing what is involved, which follows directly from autonomy rather than from regulation.

In practice

A participant who understood what was being asked before agreeing to it.

Where people slip

Consent is informed or it is not consent. The adjective carries the whole of the obligation.
