HuSS Ethics Committee

Staff and PhD student projects involving interviews, questionnaires or observation of people need to be submitted for an ethical review to the school-wide HuSS Ethics Committee. The documents on this page aim to guide you through the process of preparing an ethics proposal and if you require further advice this can be sought from your departmental representative.
