And still we have this in the statement:
Researchers should avoid damaging confrontations with funding agencies
which
might reduce research possibilities for others.
Really - about as unethical a piece of collective self interest as you
could come up with. What the hell has t his to do with ethical
responsibility to research subjects may I ask?

Subject: Social Policy Association - Research Ethics Guidelines now
available
Over the last year, the Social Policy Association has been developing a
set of Guidelines for research ethics. These are now available on the
SPA website. You can access them from the front page of the website:
http://www.social-policy.com - read down to * New * SPA Guidelines on
Research Ethics.
The direct link is:
http://www.social-policy.com/documents/SPA_code_ethics_jan09.pdf
Although many learned societies and social research organisations
already have similar guidelines, the SPA guidelines have been prepared
with regard to the particular features of much social policy research.
We are very grateful to everyone who responded to earlier consultation
on a draft document and particularly to Karen Clarke who prepared the
final version.
