Ethical approval procedures at Sheffield Hallam University
The welfare of our research participants and the integrity of our research is paramount to the University. To ensure both are addressed, every research project is required to be undertaken in accordance with commonly agreed standards of good practice as laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki, by the Research Councils and the European Science Foundation amongst others. This page details the mandatory procedures Sheffield Hallam University researchers must follow in order to comply with our research ethics policy and procedures.
