What is GDPR?

This animated video helps children and young people understand GDPR when they are asked to take part in a clinical trial. It is designed to be shown to research participants before they fill in a GDPR form, allowing them to give informed consent for their personal data to be collected and used.

The video was created by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, Penta and the Health Research Authority, with help from the CHIVA Youth Committee and Penta Youth Trials Boards in Uganda, Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK.

While created with children and young people in mind, research staff are welcome to use this animation to inform study participants of any age, taking part in a range of future studies across different disease areas.
