¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï

The Research Ethics Policy and Procedures are grounded in the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï’s three core values of Compassion, Individuals Matter and Spirituality; our policy enacts these values in relation to research. Our work places a strong emphasis on research integrity: researchers are expected to act with honesty, care and respect, in a transparent, rigorous and accountable way, guided by relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

The research ethics review process is peer-led, intended to be constructive and to strengthen research practice. We are committed to training, supporting staff and research students to consider research ethics and integrity throughout the lifecycle of a project, and promote researcher reflexivity.
