Ethics

Expert Supervision & Approval

Independent experts ensure that all research undertaken using the data you provide is of the highest scientific and ethical quality. Researchers who want to use information collected by Children of the 90s must prove that their projects meet the highest standards.

Many people help us make sure Children of the 90s make the right decisions:

• The Children of the 90s Executive; a group of senior researchers and managers from Children of the 90s.
   
• The Children of the 90s Ethics & Law Committee; a group of experts, study young people and parents who are there to protect your interests.
   
• All research to do with the NHS is looked at by an independent group who are there to protect your safety, rights, well-being and dignity. This part of Children of the 90s has been approved by the ‘NorthWest 5 Research Ethics Committee’.
