Abstract

This presentation is about the ethical dimension in social work research focused mainlyabout the degree of participation of the different actors in the research. It comes from the critical reflections that the authors have been analysing in the research about social work with families whichis being performed in the framework of GRITS (Group for Research and Innovation in Social Work).It deals with the ethical aspects to be considered in research in general and specially in qualitative research which following Peled and Leichtentritt (2002) are: (a) research ethics are an integral aspectof the research act and of each of the phases of the research process; (b) ethical research empowers participants, particularly those of vulnerable and disenfranchised groups; (c) ethical research benefits participants; (d) ethical research prevents harm for participants and involved others; and (e) ethical research requires researchers’ technical competence.
