Guidelines for impartial and independent scientific advice
Guidelines for impartial and independent scientific advice are currently being drafted for approval by the Coorong Science Group, however in the mean time, another not-for-profit organisation called "Sense about Science" produce some excellent scientific guides and resources, providing insights into to value of and how to conduct impartial independent science.
Of particular interest to our politically active supporters, the UK Government has worked with Sense about Science and other stakeholders to produce a set of Principles of Scientific Advice, setting out to Government three principles: academic freedom, independence of operation and proper consideration of advice. Some discussion around these principles and access to the document is available.
