The TEDS Promise

The TEDS Promise

The TEDS Promise is made to all our participating families.

Our promise to you:

  1. Taking part in the research is voluntary and you are free to withdraw at any time without giving a reason.
  2. You cannot be identified from published findings or datasets. We continuously strive to keep all your information confidential. We take extra care to ensure that your data is in a secure environment, and will always do so.
  3. Every research project is checked to ensure that it meets the highest scientific and ethical standards. All researchers are bound by a legal data sharing agreement (data access policy: DTAs), to keep your data confidential.
  4. All our research aims to benefit society and is never done for commercial gain. We promise to be transparent about our funders: see below.

For full details of our policies relating to participants and their data, please refer to our privacy policy.
