Dear John,
There are ethical committees in all areas in the UK. They govern all research involving humans. I have a list of all committees in the South East with addresses and contact persons. If you live in this area, let me know and I'll pass on the relevant details.
They have a disc with the application form on electronically that you fill in, or some Trusts have it on their internal computer servers.
Your Trust should have a Local Research Ethics Committee (LREC) administrator who you could contact, failing that, anyone involved in student projects would be helpful, failing that there should be someone who is the data protection registrar for your Trust.
Hope this helps
Andrew
