A guide to ethics and student engagement through partnership

Ethical issues are part of the everyday lived experience of partnership and student engagement but are rarely brought to the fore. Working from the set of values identified in Framework for student engagement through partnership (HEA 2015) and with reference to Healey Flint and Harrington’s (2014) model of engagement through partnership this guide provides a brief introduction to ethics in the context of partnership. The guide covers some key ethical frameworks and includes a series of questions designed as ethical prompts to help those engaged in partnership consider how to enact ethics in their partnership work. The guide includes two diagnostic tools to promote discussion of ethics in partnership processes.
