Release Forms and Family Consents
Last updated

Permissions must be granted in writing from any consumer or family member whose image, voice, story, case details, or other potentially identifying attribute is used in a product. For children under the age of 18, parents provide consent. Consumers and families always have the right to withdraw consent at a later date. It is, in fact, good policy to obtain permission from everyone who will be filmed, including practitioners and commentators. The NCCTS has developed a model release form for NCTSN products. You may adapt it as needed, however, you will have to follow the procedures and use the forms of your home institution as well.
