All activities are underpinned by research integrity through the rigorous conduct and funding of research, reliability, honesty, respect and accountability.
The mental health platform promotes transparency, collaborative decision-making and accessible communication of research. We will share data with trusted, approved researchers to improve outcomes for people with severe mental illness, while ensuring research integrity and data security.
The mental health platform will work toward being equitable in our approach, regardless of age, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, faith, class, sex, or gender. We will conduct equity impact assessments and prioritise meaningful public involvement and lived expertise in our research.
