Abstract
Seven essential instruments for POPIA compliance in research involving children and adolescents in South Africa
Highlights
Compliance with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is a foremost governance challenge for research involving high-risk and vulnerable groups such as children and adolescents
In this Commentary, we summarise seven essential instruments to assist research projects involving children and adolescents to achieve POPIA compliance
Stimulated by recent discussions initiated by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) and the development of the POPIA Code of Conduct for Research[3], we propose instruments to support POPIA compliance in the context of research with children and adolescents
