Abstract
Discussion among researchers at the moment is mostly punctuated with references to Covid-19. From across the various fields that my research cross-sections – primary English, children’s participation, teacher education and girls’ education in development contexts – colleagues are considering what their academic response could or indeed should be. Inevitably, it doesn’t take long for these discussions to shift to the ethical implications. This article discusses the ethics of collecting 'publicly accessible' data and the measures that should be taken to seek consent from its young creators.
