Navigating Ethics in Evaluation - Panel Discussion

May 30, 2012 - 11:45am - 1:15pm, United Way (580 Main St.)

Shauna MacKinnon, CCPA

The Canadian Evaluation Society guidelines for ethical conduct provide guidelines for ethical evaluation. These guidelines encourage conduct based on competence, integrity and accountability. In practice, ethical situations may arise that offer no obvious solution with no hard and fast rules to guide decisions. The presenter will provide examples of potential ethical conundrums in evaluation and invite participants to discuss possible solutions. Strategies for planning, implementing and reporting ethically will be presented.
