Understand the key professional ethical considerations in each step of a research project. When research intrudes into the private sphere or delves into some deeply personal experience.

Anonymity - means that subjects remain anonymous or nameless. (secondary datasets) Name/position they hold gives weight to findings (minister). Consent must be given to use their name.
