The Nordoff and Robbins Research Ethics Committee (NRREC) ensures that research projects fully protect the ethical interests of all concerned and are in line with current national standards. Its members include Nordoff and Robbins employees and external experts, and it draws on additional specialist expertise when required.
The NRREC scrutinises proposals for research studies that meet any of the following criteria:
The NRREC also monitors the conduct of approved studies to ensure that the research is of the required quality.
The committee can also advise on further referrals to social care or NHS research ethics committees, including the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS).
The research work of our MPhil / PhD students is monitored by the Postgraduate Research Committee within the Social, Therapeutic and Community Studies department (STaCS) at Goldsmiths, University of London. The Convenor of our MPhil/PhD programme is a member of the committee, ensuring beneficial exchange between Nordoff and Robbins and StaCS and providing the best possible support for student research across the two institutions.
Further information on research within STaCS is available from the Goldsmiths website.
