Site file documents

Access documents required for the study site file, as well as other core BADBIR study documents.

It is the responsibility of each centre to keep their site file fully up-to-date. All original consent forms and CVs for research team members must also be stored in the site file.

Previous version of all site file documents must be stored and marked as superseded, unless your centre registered for BADBIR before the document version was introduced. For simplicity, the table below only contains the latest documents required in the site file. See our Superseded Documents page for a full list of previous versions of our documentation.

Site file structure

This table contains the latest documents for the site file. Items marked with a * would be local to each individual Trust. We usually prepare these documents for new centres, but the forms are in Microsoft Word format to enable your centre to prepare these documents if you’d prefer.
