Timing is critical: it is important not to try and conduct the work too soon after the flood event, as people may still be dealing with the aftermath and recovery; too long after and you may find that people simply want to move on and don\u2019t wish to revisit the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Working ethically also means working in a <strong>participatory <\/strong>and<strong> inclusive<\/strong> way. This is partly to ensure that all voices join the conversation, particularly those belonging to groups regarded as more vulnerable such as children, older people and people with disabilities. It is also about creating a safe space in which people feel able to talk and share experiences, choosing appropriate <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/floodarchive\/how-to-guide\/how-to-collect-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>data collection methods<\/strong><\/a> and ensuring that people are able to give <strong>informed consent<\/strong> to take part in the work, including the option to withdraw if they wish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">During Lancaster University\u2019s research projects in flood-affected communities, the team has worked in as participatory a way as possible. This stems from a theory of knowledge which regards flood-affected people as \u2018experts\u2019 with a great deal of knowledge and insight to share. Starting from this perspective meant that the team sought to learn from the participants\u2019 experience and expertise in flooding and aimed to generate data \u2018with\u2019 the participants, rather than \u2018from\u2019 them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Steps to working ethically<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1045\" style=\"width: 958px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/floodarchive\/steps-to-working-ethically-long-description\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1045\" class=\"wp-image-1045 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/floodarchive\/files\/2018\/12\/how-to-flowchart-for-working-ethically-page.jpg\" alt=\"Steps to working ethically flowchart.
