Guidelines & Policies
The ethical storytelling resource landscape.
Publicly available resources generally originate from:
Practitioners who share their own organization’s policies and principles
Development organizations and funders who produce research on practices currently in use
Academics who research the use of stories
Without a clear authority on the practice — such as a professional association — the current strategy for most organizations appears to be surveying others’ practices to inform the development of their own.
Guidelines & Policies
Self-reported by practitioners.
