Asking for consent protects privacy, builds trust, and helps you meet legal requirements.
It matters because:
- Legal: Many regions require you to notify participants and obtain permission before recording.
- Ethical: People have the right to know they are being recorded and understand the purpose.
- Operational: Clear consent reduces misunderstandings and supports proper record-keeping and compliance.
A simple, practical approach is to start each meeting with a brief consent request and note the response.
