The PhotoVoice Statement of Ethical Practice is a set of considerations and principles which govern how PhotoVoice designs and delivers participatory photography programmes. It is intended to be universal, and applicable across all countries, projects, and topics. Ethical considerations arise as an everyday part of participatory engagement with community groups, especially when the resulting images are used publicly. PhotoVoice recognises a range of considerations may arise across different activities. If these are not given due attention prior to – as well as during – participant engagement, there is the potential for the activities to do more harm than good.
