Data Trust Ethical Principles

The Kansas Early Childhood Data Trust is Committed to:

Recognizing the needs of people before data

We are responsible for maximizing the social benefit and minimizing harm when using data derived from individual experiences or perceptions.

Practicing humility and openness

This includes being clear and transparent about practices while engaging with communities to understand their unique needs.

Understanding the complete data

We ensure every effort is made to glean a complete understanding of data, where it came from, and how it was created. We do this while keeping future potential users of data top of mind.

Empathy for all

This includes Data Trust partners and all the individuals from which the data is derived.
