Setting a new standard for ethics in social impact measurement
Social impact measurement is an emerging field that sits between continuous internal improvement and research. As such, social impact measurement projects do not fit clearly under existing industry standards for ethical review procedures.
For some sectors, there are relevant ethical review bodies that will accept a submission for social impact measurement projects, such as the Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Ethics Review Board, or the Australian Research Council’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). However, for many projects there are no appropriate entities.
To ensure that Huber Social’s impact measurement projects ‘do no harm’ and the integrity of our work is maintained, the Huber Social Ethical Review Board (ERB) was created. The Huber Social ERB is a registered Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) with the NHMRC. Our ethics review procedure complies with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research 2018 and the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2018.
To learn more about the Huber Social Ethical Review Board and its processes and procedures, please consult our Terms of Reference and Standard Operating Procedures.
Please note that we are not currently accepting an external ethical review applications at this time.
