This is a living document and we’d welcome your feedback. Please make suggestions or add your ideas for how it can be improved directly in this document.  \nLOTI is planning to seek the endorsement of the Information Governance group for London ( IGfL), which consists of the Information Governance leads of all 33 London boroughs, after which we’ ll publish the final version.  \nPart 2: The Guide  \nThis template user agreement is designed for use in Assistive Technology (AT) trials conducted by local authorities. Its purpose is to provide the basis of an agreement between pilot participants and local authorities in an accessible format. This will make it easier for participants to understand what the trial entails and what they are agreeing to, and make it simpler for local authorities to pass on this information.  \nGiven the relationship between local authorities and vulnerable residents who are likely to be participating in AT trials, it is likely that time will need to be spent discussing this agreement with them over the phone or face to face to ensure they fully understand the implications.  \nThis template does not seek to cover all eventualities or types of trials a local authority may wish to conduct. You will need to adapt it to ensure your user agreement is an accurate representation of what the local authority and any potential participants are required to do. It is expected that local authorities will follow their internal information governance processes, including conducting data privacy impact assessments ( DPIAs) where necessary.  \nPlease pay particular attention to any sections written in [ red]. These will need to be updated with your specific AT trial information- in all cases. When you add any information about your specific trial, please use plain, simple English to ensure that information is clear to participants. We recommend using bullet points to breakdown any longer paragraphs of text. Where jargon is unavoidable, please explain it clearly or provide an explanation in the glossary.  \nProcess  \nThe diagram below provides an explanation of w hen and how to use this template user agreement.  \nPlease be aware that in some situations, additional steps may need to be taken, for example when working with individuals who do not have the capacity to consent or who require an easy explanation of the service delivered.  \n∗Baseline evaluation survey is conducted with the participant in order to understand their needs and context before the trial. This helps to ensure that the assistive technology addresses the user needs and assess the impact of the device.  \n● Step 1 ( Identification) - Local authorities must first identify a prospective pilot participant.  \n● Step 2 (Screening) - Verbally outline the trial and its objectives, each of the parties' responsibilities and any information about data that will be collected. Be sure to prompt the individual to consult a family member, friend, support worker or someone else they trust on the agreement.  \n● Step 3 ( Review Agreement) - If the person is happy to proceed in principle, then a user agreement (i.e. a completed version of Part 3 of this template) should be sent to them by email or post.  \n● Step 4 ( Ratification) - Before commencing","cbCaidadhqN8JnF9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidadhqN8JnF9","pdf",141541,7,"English","# Part 1: About this document\n# Part 2: The Guide\n## Process\n# Part 3: [Name of Trial] User Agreement Template Overview\n## What will happen in the trial?\n## What will happen after the trial ends?\n## How will my data be used?\n## What are my rights?\n# Part 4: Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this AT user agreement template and guide?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a basis of agreement between pilot participants and local authorities for accessible understanding of what the trial involves and what participants are agreeing to.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps do local authorities follow to take someone through the trial agreement?\",\"answer\":\"Local authorities identify a prospective participant, verbally outline the trial and responsibilities and data collected, send a completed version of the user agreement for review, then check understanding and agreement before recording the decision.\"},{\"question\":\"How will participant data be used and how is consent handled?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains that the agreement does not start until consent is given, outlines how consent will be obtained, and includes a dedicated section on how data will be used and participants’ rights, including the right to withdraw at any time.\"}]","Assistive Technology User Agreement Template and Guide | PDF",1789570224]
