Ethics policy issuu

In the letters that are sent out to schools and parents/guardians, it is noted that every part of the project needs to be stated clearly, with clear intentions and time frames. Including the benefits, how the project will be run and what the results of the project will be used for.

Before running workshops, consent forms will be sent out alongside project proposals and the brief that is being followed. Parents/guardians will know exactly what is happening and where the research will be used.
