Use the appropriate REC channel to ask about research ethics, provide feedback on the ethics review process, or report a complaint or concern related to research conduct or participant protection.
A general question, service feedback, and an ethics-related complaint serve different purposes. Choose the option that best matches your concern.

Researchers may also need guidance about submission requirements, informed consent, revisions, review results, or other REC procedures.

Form 6 states that feedback information will be treated with appropriate confidentiality and used primarily for quality improvement, monitoring, and evaluation of REC services. Name and signature fields are optional on the supplied form.
Form 7 provides a structured way to document a complaint or concern and give the REC the information needed to assess and address it.
The form identifies the following types of complaints or concerns:
The form requests relevant study or protocol information, a description of the concern, and any supporting documents or evidence. The complainant/reporter's name is marked optional where permitted by policy.
