‘Research Ethics in a changing social sciences landscape’ touches upon how ethical processes can be adapted to fit this changing social landscape. Can you highlight how this can be achieved?

To achieve this, we need a massive culture change, so that independent or third-sector research is not considered as “not-so-important” or “less-than”, whilst also recognising that ethics cannot be one-size-fits-all box-ticking exercise. In practical terms, this means to have a system in place that enables independent researchers and third-sector organisations to apply for ethics reviews. And to move away from a one-point ethics applications process towards a process that allows for relational ethics and ethics in practice to be discussed, reviewed, and approved throughout the entire research.
