The Centre for Applied Data Ethics at @UKStatsAuth is getting busy. As well as asking for input on their data ethics self-assessment tool teapawt.org/UKStatsAuth/status/137…, there's a useful paper on the applied data ethics guidance landscape as a draft for feedback uksa.statisticsauthority.gov….
Our data ethics self-assessment tool is being updated and the team working on it want your input. The tool is designed to ensure that researchers properly consider the ethics of their work and has been used on over 400 projects so far. bit.ly/3ePqXo4
