This is the previous, third edition version of BERA’s influential and important guidelines on educational research, first published in 2011. You can also read them online.

A revised, updated and expanded fourth edition of BERA’s Ethical Guidelines for Educational Research is now available, having been published in June 2018.

Others have made use of these guidelines (the third edition) in their own work. One such example is led by a team at the University of Leicester who have developed some further guidance that is based upon BERA’s. That can be found here.
