Pilot in Government

To pilot the guidelines among government scientists, a working group was formed from the Science and Society Champions Network. The pilot began in earnest in September 2005, and will report back to Sir David King in autumn 2006. Five key agencies took part in the pilot, namely:

The Environment Agency
Veterinary Laboratories Agency
Forestry Commission
Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
Pesticide Safety Directorate

Results were positive, and showed clearly that the Code was applicable in practical settings. All five have now made concerted efforts to promote the Code’s principles to staff at all levels in their organisations.
