Ethical Principles - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The principle of free and informed consent is drawn from the tradition of medical ethics and includes four components i.e., the disclosure to participants of all information about the risks and benefits of the process, the competency of participants to evaluate this information, the understanding by participants of the information, and the voluntary acceptance by participants of the risks and benefits.
    - - The principle of protection of individual autonomy/self-determination entails that every effort is made to ensure individual choice and control is protected. It includes the opportunity to determine when, if, and how one’s story will be told, heard, or archived and by whom.
    - - The principle of participatory justice means that participation is structured to have an impact. Programmed could be designed so that those sharing their stories have opportunities to hear/see how their stories impact on others; programmed participants’ feedback can help shape future work; those who are hesitant to participate are listened to and their concerns can make an impact.
    - - The principle of empowerment enables growth and development throughout the process. It fosters authorship of living accounts of our history. It makes possible the exercise of decisions and choices in the process.
    - - The principle of inclusion addresses the fostering of participation and involvement across all levels of society/societies (individuals, organizations, institutions), especially of those who have been previously denied voice/power/access/impact.
    - - The principle of equality means treating all stories and those relating them with dignity, respect, and due privacy; enabling silenced voices to be heard; ensuring that privileges and disadvantages are not replicated in storytelling processes; accepting a story as part of a whole.
    - - The principle of distributive justice means that benefits and risks are distributed equally. This means that all participants have the ability to share their story in conditions that foster the principles outlined in this document; that no participants receive access to elements of the process or programmed that other do not; that no participants are placed at higher risk by programmed than others, and therefore that programmed respond to the context that may put some at more risk to share or hear stories than others.
    - - The principle of honesty involves the commitment to designing processes with the intention that our stories are shared and recorded in context, to ensure that those stories are not misinterpreted at a later date or out of context.
- - - - The principle of accountability promotes individual, group, and institutional responsibility when participating in storytelling, gathering, archiving and listening/viewing. This means that institutions, organizations, and individuals managing narrative and storytelling and archiving processes maintain personnel, processes, policies, etc. that are accountable to those who experience the risks and benefits of storytelling and narrative work, including future generations.
    - - The principle of transparency asserts that motivations, funding, processes, etc. are all made visible to those who are to experience risks and benefits, including future generations. This should include openness and sensitivity for those both inside and outside a process.
    - - The principle of interconnectedness refers to the acknowledgment of circularity and interrelatedness of human interactions, community/ties, and cycles of conflict. Such an understanding informs decisions about programmed management and facilitation.
    - - The principle of being context-specific involves considerations in design and delivery for the realities on the ground. This requires recognizing and responding to the fact that conditions may change over time and that they can be different for different communities or participants.
    - - The principle of collective benefits is about the fostering of community and collective advantages through community development and access and appropriate wider engagement.
    - - The principle of legal obligation is about ensuring that relevant law-related obligations are known and followed. This is particularly important for storytelling and narrative work that involves participants/institutions who may; still be legally responsible; at risk of legal accountability; or due compensation, as a result of their experiences of the conflict.
