Overview
Key facts
The course will explore the nature and processes of ethical review bodies, the consent process and vulnerability, risks and risk mitigation and broader frameworks of responsible research and innovation. Participants will be encouraged to take a broad and imaginative approach to risk assessment and research ethics, stepping beyond a “tick box” approach to ethical review and situating ethics as an ongoing part of the research process. The course is primarily designed for researchers with an understanding of social science research who intend to submit a research project for ethical review and who wish to gain a wider understanding of ethical social science. The course leader is an experienced social researcher who will draw on her own research and experience of ethical review as a reviewer and applicant, as well as established practice within the social sciences.
University of Surrey's Preparing your project for ethical review programme will teach you more about this topic.
