Social Science Research Ethics Committee (SSREC)
We scrutinise the ethical implications of research grant proposals submitted to external funding bodies by University staff with a view to their endorsement.
This committee complies with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Research Ethics Framework.
It is a sub-committee of the University Ethics Committee.
Staff and PhD students funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) should seek ethical approval through SSREC rather than their own departmental committee. However staff and PhD students from the Department of Psychology and Department for Health should seek ethical approval through PREC and REACH respectively.
Full responsibilities of the committee are detailed in the terms of reference.
For application forms and guidance, please contact Rebecca Wise.
