Consent

  1. I have had the opportunity to consider the information provided by Noadswood about the testing, ask questions and have had these answered satisfactorily (via health@noadswood.hants.sch.uk), based on the information presented
  2. I consent to supplying a regular saliva sample as per the guidance.
  3. I consent to a minimal amount of data being shared between Noadswood, LifeLab and the University Hospital Southampton (as well as the NHS Test and Trace if a positive case is detected).
  4. I consent that my sample(s) will be tested for the presence of Covid-19.
  5. I understand that if my results are negative I will not be contacted by Noadswood except where I am a close contact of a confirmed positive.
  6. If the test indicates the presence of Covid-19, I consent to having a nose and throat swab for confirmatory PCR testing, which shall be sent the same day to an NHS Test and Trace laboratory.
  7. I consent that I will need to self-isolate following a positive test result, until the results of the confirmatory PCR have been received.
  8. I agree that if my test results are confirmed to be positive from this PCR test, I will report this to Noadswood (via health@noadswood.hants.sch.uk) and I understand that I will be required to self-isolate following public health advice.
