UNICEF: Ethical Research Involving Children
Online Resource, November 2013
This on-line resource “brings together the best thinking internationally about key ethical issues involving children and how these might be addressed in different research contexts…The point of the Ethical Research Involving Children Project is to help ensure that the human dignity of children is honoured and that their rights and well-being are respected in all research, irrespective of context.”

The new resources include:
:: An International Charter for Ethical Research Involving Children;
:: A Compendium on ethical issues and challenges, including a collection of over 20 case studies as well as structured questions to guide ethical research involving children (called ‘Getting Started’);
:: A website www.childethics.com specifically designed to provide a rich repository of evidence-based information, resources and links to journal articles to guide and improve research involving children and to provide a platform for further critical reflection and dialogue.

Nearly 400 members of the international research and NGO communities have contributed to this project that has developed a range of resources to provide clear guidance on ethical issues and concerns that can be applied in multiple research contexts.
