Social science is fundamental to a democratic society, and should be inclusive of different interests, values, funders, methods and perspectives.
All social science should respect the privacy, autonomy, diversity, values and dignity of individuals, groups and communities.
All social science should be conducted with integrity throughout, employing the most appropriate methods for the research purpose.
All social scientists should act with regard to their social responsibilities in conducting and disseminating their research.
All social science should aim to maximise benefit and minimise harm.4
