Guidance on standards of safety and ethics
The British Science Association refers to CLEAPSS on all matters health and safety related.
The safety sheets also provide guidance on animal testing in schools.
We expect all CREST projects to be compliant with relevant legislation, for example animal testing, the gathering and use of people's data etc.
