Animal Ethics: Handling (difficult) enquiries
In this thought-provoking post Erich von Dietze (AHRECS Senior Consultant) and Geoff Dandie (AHRECS Consultant) reflects upon institutions and Animal Ethics Committees receiving external enquiries about Animal Ethics at the institution.
In addition to their roles at AHRECS, they are very experienced in Animal Ethics at a number of institutions, including the operation of Animal Ethics Committees.
As this post observes, such enquiries can arrive in the form of Right For Information requests/FOI requests, complaints or written requests.
It should be noted, that Right For Information requests/FOI legislation often direct that decision makers must not concern themselves with how an applicant might use the information they seek.
This discussion is likely to be especially useful and topical, given the drive towards openness in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
We would be very interested in hearing from the AHRECS community on your own thoughts on these matters.
