This guide meets a need identified by Scotland’s Third Sector Research Forum (TSRF) for a resource to support research active third sector organisations to navigate ethical considerations. It is written for researchers working in the third sector to help you know what to do and how, to ensure your research participants and you are safe during the research process.

The guide contains a number of good (and not so good) practice case studies, and suggests a number of questions that can be used as an ethics checklist by anyone planning research-type activities, from small focus groups or interviews, to larger research projects.
