Doing an ethics review
Learn how to do an ethics review.An ethics review will help you:
- design, develop and maintain responsible services
- identify any unintended consequences of your service
How to do an ethics review
Make a copy of the ethics review template in Miro. There are instructions on the board about how to use it.
You can do the review remotely or in person. There’s no time-limit, but for reference, it took one team about 2 hours to do their review in person.
The outputs you get are likely to vary significantly depending on what your service does, who uses it, which phase of delivery you’re at and how information is stored and used.
When to do an ethics review
Depending on what delivery phase your product is in, you can do an ethics review to prepare for a service assessment.
If your team is not preparing for a service assessment, you can still do a review at any time to reflect on the ethics of your service. Alternatively, you could use our ethical principles instead.
