Ethical considerations and practices. • Research findings. • Conclusions, implications of the findings for management. • Recommendations for action; a programme of implementation indicating resources, costs, and timescales set out in an action plan. • Personal learning statement. • References. • Appendices – documents and other additional information referred to in the text, such as the University’s Ethical Review Application form.
