5CO03: This unit focuses on how applying core professional behaviours such as ethical practice, courage and inclusivity can build positive working relationships: Professional behaviours and valuing people, Assignment, CIPD Level 5, UK

This unit focuses on how applying core professional behaviours such as ethical practice, courage and inclusivity can build positive working relationships and support employee voice and wellbeing. It considers how developing and mastering new professional behaviours and practice can impact performance.

Task –Professional and ethical behaviours

This assessment, like the unit it is based on, considers some key professional and ethical behaviours that are expected of a people practice professional.

The assessment requires you to demonstrate, in written responses, your knowledge and abilities against each of these requirements.

To assist you to do this, the assessment poses 11 questions, one for each of the requirements. You should respond to each of the 11 questions, providing a mix of theoretical knowledge, practical examples and personal reflection as required. Some of the questions ask you to include feedback from others, and so before you commence this assessment you are advised to identify and collect relevant feedback from at least one other person who has an insight into your behaviour at work. You will also need to set up some continued professional development (CPD) documentation if you do not have this already.

When submitting your responses, please ensure that these are clearly signposted typically using sub-headings or question numbers and AC references to link your responses to the relevant question. You should also ensure that your work complies with the wordcount requirements stated at the end of this assessment brief.

Please respond to all 11 questions below:
