University policies

Research integrity 

The University’s research community is committed to adhering to high ethical standards and the University’s values in order to ensure the integrity of our innovative and high quality research. 

As supporters of the UUK Concordat to Support Research Integrity we are committed to: 

The University of Leeds Research Ethics Policy and ethical review procedures seek to protect, as far as possible, all groups involved in research including participants, researchers, funders and the University of Leeds throughout the lifespan of the research.  

Data protection

As a university, we may need to process information about our stakeholders including employees, students, alumni and the public for administrative, research and general business purposes.  

Our Data Protection Code of Practice (PDF) sets out how we meet our legal obligations under the Data Protection Act to make sure we process and store this information fairly, lawfully and securely and that our stakeholders understand how their data is being used. 

Modern slavery and human trafficking statement

Our modern slavery and human trafficking statement informs our students, staff, suppliers, stakeholders and the public about the steps that we have taken, and will take, to mitigate any risk of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced and bonded labour and labour rights violations within our organisation and supply chains. 

Use of animals in research

The University of Leeds carries out research using animals to improve the health and welfare of human beings and animals, to provide a better understanding of the animals themselves, and for educational purposes.  

It uses animals only when there are no alternatives, and is firmly committed to the replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of animals in research (the 'three Rs').

The Fairtrade label guarantees a better deal for disadvantaged producers in the developing world.
