Safe Schools Common Approach: Ethics and child safeguarding annex

This Annex draws on various international documents on the ethical conduct of research, monitoring, and evaluation (RME), the codes of ethics of international agencies, ethical guidelines in social research (Save the Children UK and Save the Children US), and Save the Children’s Child Safeguarding policy. It identifies and establishes key principles and minimum requirements for ethical research that involves human-subject data collection (that is, with children and adults) and discusses their implications for the Safe Schools common approach. This document therefore outlines what Save the Children regards as good practice for all RME related to Safe Schools programming.
