Ethics
At Aesthetica, we believe in ensuring that a rigorous code of ethics is followed at all times. This means that we always remember the rights and needs of our contributors. We ensure that all contributors feel safe and know that their contribution will be treated confidentially.
Interviewees are informed of the purpose of the research and the intended outputs from their contribution. This is achieved by an Interviewee Agreement and Consent form.
The Aesthetica Research Team adhere to an appropriate code of practice, which is based on the British Sociological Association guidelines.
We believe in maintaining excellent communication between our clients and interviewees before, after and during research. This signifies that a member of the Aesthetica Research Team will be available for consultation throughout the research process.
All practitioners from the Aesthetica Research Team are CRB checked and approved.
