Use local ethics in all stages of the research process and get local ethics approval including at family, community, Country and national levels. This means that the researcher identifies ethical issues with their research and communicates these at the levels their research qualifies together with a description of their research so that further ethical issues are identified. When all issues are ironed out, ethics approval is then provided. This is not the same as permission or consent.
