Ethics Standard Operating Procedures

The Research Ethics Structures at DkIT are illustrated in Figure 1. The responsibility to ensure ethical research practice in DkIT rests with Academic Council. The Institute Ethics Committee (IREC) acts on behalf of Academic council to review proposed research and to monitor and review the Research Ethics Policy. The IREC sits within the Research Office and reports to Academic council via the Research Sub-Committee. Each School operates a Research Ethics subcommittee (SREC) to review research within the School on behalf of the IREC.
