Community research ethics

and The launch of the Community Research Code of Practice

Martin Tolich, Garth Nowland-Foreman,

Watch our October 2020 webinar to hear Martin Tolich from the NZ Ethics Committee discuss community research ethics and how the NZEC can support you or your organisation on your community research journey. Martin also speaks about some of the pressing issues in ethical community research including:

  • Te Tiriti o Waitangi
  • Equity
  • Pākehā Paralysis
  • Importance of having a relationship with NZ Ethics Committee

He discusses what defines research, why ethics is important, who needs to consider ethics and how we can address this kaupapa better as research commissioning organisations and those undertaking research.

We also have the official relaunch of the revised Community Research Code of Practice with our Community Research Co-chair, Garth Nowland-Foreman.

Finally, we promote a range of professional associations that can support you in your ethical practice and some of the indemnity requirements you may need to consider when undertaking or commissioning research in the community.
