Participant information sheet

Welcome to Training in Assistive Products (TAP).

Information about TAP: TAP is an online learning programme for personnel who are, or will be:

  • Identifying people who need assistive products;
  • Providing simple assistive products;
  • Interested to support increasing access to assistive products for people who need them.

TAP can be accessed using a computer, tablet or smart-phone.

TAP data collection: TAP collects information about TAP learners (including you) through the registration and feedback surveys. The Discussion forum also records areas of interest and questions from learners. Quiz scores from the modules are also collected.

Before this information is used it will be de-identified. This means that the names, and personal details are removed. This way, no-one looking at the information will know whose information it is.

  • How much interest there is in TAP (such as the number of countries reached);
  • How well TAP is working how it can be improved;
  • Which future TAP modules people may be interested in and how they might use TAP.

The de-identified information is held securely by the World Health Organization. It may be combined with data from other TAP projects, and it may be shared with project partners, donors, and researchers.
