Guidelines: working with children and students

Centre for Ethics has developed two materials in the project of SiS CATALYST:
Things to consider when working with children and
Things to consider when working with students.

In January 2011, the 7th framework programme project “Children as Change Agents for Science in Society” began. The project is coordinated by Tricia Jenkins, MBE from the University of Liverpool in the UK. The project seeks to identify how children can be change agents in the relationship between science and society, and from this starting point, to indicate how they can be catalysts in the long-term solutions to the great social challenges of their future. The focus will be on capable children who are currently least likely to pursue the study of science at the post secondary level.

The Centre for Ethics manages an ethics-centred work package, the main task of which is to evaluate and consider the ethical aspects of the project, to ensure and improve the overall quality of the project, and to develop guidelines which stress the ethical aspects of situations involving children.
