Respect is at core of new Human Research code

Respect for the autonomy and dignity of persons, scientific value, social responsibility, maximising benefit and minimising harm are at the core of a new Code of Human Research Ethics introduced by the Open University’s John Oates at the Annual Conference of The British Psychological Society.

John Oates, Senior Lecturer at the OU, was convenor of the society working party that developed it.

He told the Conference in Glasgow the code, which complements the 2009 Code of Ethics and Conduct, is principles based and designed to evolve rather than provide a framework for every eventuality.
