Ethics and guidance

BERA’s ethics and guidance documents are used by educational researchers and those active in many other disciplines.

Our publications include the following documents.

  • BERA’s Ethical Guidelines for Educational Research (now in its fifth edition)
  • BERA’s Research Ethics Case Studies, designed to complement the Ethical Guidelines by giving concrete examples of how those guidelines can be applied during the research process
  • The BERA Charter for Research Staff in Education
  • The BERA Statement on Close-to-Practice Research
