Ethical Requirements
Running the tool will require you to meet the ethical and data protection requirements of your organisation. Your institutional approvals may be different, but broadly speaking you will need to work out how to:
- Provide contact details for participants to ask questions or withdraw
- Record the results to the pre-panel survey
- Record or make sufficient notes on the panel
- Anonymise the data for in-project analysis
- Store the data securely during the project
- Anonymise the data for long term storage, e.g. keep consent forms, delete contact information.
- Store useful data securely after the project
Our actual ethics text and consent form is discussed in the ethics section under 'Running your own panel' and included in the 'Pre-panel questionnaire' document, in the Resources section.
