RESEARCH ETHICS

Alef Trust is dedicated to ensuring that all research that is being conducted adheres to the ethical principles as outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and The British Psychological Society Code of Human Research Ethics. The dignity, rights, safety and wellbeing of all involved in research are paramount. Any unreasonable risks must be avoided and any possibilities of harm to research participants must be minimised, while the autonomy and privacy of participants fully respected. 

All research projects carried out by Alef Trust students are reviewed on the ethical grounds by the Alef Trust Research Ethics Panel, Chaired by Dr. Hennie Geldenhuys.
