Ethics Policy
The main purpose of the Department's ethics review procedure is to facilitate the research undertaken by members of the department in a way that protects both our research participants and ourselves. Our aim is to accommodate all proposed research as far as is ethically possible. Our procedures and forms comply with the University of Sheffield ethics policy for research involving human participants, data and tissue.
