Research Ethics and Integrity
The University of Nottingham requires all staff and students who are engaged in research to maintain the highest standards of ethics and integrity whilst conducting their research.
Research principles
Researchers must adhere to the university's principles for research ethics and integrity. These documents can be accessed by visiting the university's research and integrity website.
Research Ethics Committee
The Research Ethics Committee (REC) manages and monitors research and integrity procedures for the school.
All research carried out within the school by staff and students which involves the participation of human subjects and/or their data must first be reviewed by the REC to ensure compliance with the university guidelines and good practice.
Research must not commence until ethical approval has been given.
Complaints
Complaints or expressions of concern about the unethical conduct of research by School of Education researchers can be directed to the school Research Ethics Committee in the first instance.
