Âé¶¹´«Ã½ takes ethical non-compiance very seriously. Not only does ethical non-compliance endanger the welfare of animals affected by the non-compliance, but it can also affect the work of grad students, other researchers and, in some severe cases, the work of the entire Âé¶¹´«Ã½ community.
Every member of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ community is responsible for alerting the proper authorities about breaches in ethical and legal behaviour. Please email ausexec@uwo.ca to notify of ethical non-compliance in the animal research community at Western and its affiliates. In the case of non-compliance occuring due to the work of ACVS or the ACC, please contact the office of the VP Research directly via vpr@uwo.ca.
As with any disclosures of a sensitive nature, the ACC fully complies with Âé¶¹´«Ã½'s (PDF).
