5D- Ethical Dimensions for my proposed Inquiry.

When carrying out an Inquiry there are many ethical issues that you have to be aware of. It is essential when humans are involved that you apply and adhere to ethical standards.

Below are the ways I plan to be ethical when conducting my inquiry.

• It is critical for my Inquiry that I get a consent form and permission for every child under the age of 18 from their parent/guardian. Any one who is over the age of 18 must sign the form themselves.

• The data collected for the Inquiry must only be used for that purpose only and then should be destroyed afterwards as it is of no use.

• Questions asked must be relevant to the Inquiry. It must be valid and reliable.

• In some cases the participants may want to be kept anonymous so it is Imperative that if you agree with this there names remain unknown.

• All data should be kept safe so that only you can access it. So for example if the information is kept on a computer it should be password protected.

• Everyone involved should know the objections and purpose of the Inquiry.

• At all times during the inquiry the environment should be safe so that no harm is caused to any one taking part.

• My results must be thoroughly researched and not biased.
