The People Practice Director has decided to introduce a ‘Code of Ethical and Professional Practice’ for the team, and they would like everyone to contribute to this.

To structure your response, they have set five questions (see below), one for each of the five aspects of practice. They have asked that you respond clearly to the questions, including any examples or references that you think will be helpful.

1) Please explain:

a) ‘ethical principles’ and how these can inform the way people behave at work. b) ‘professional values’ and how these can inform the way people behave at work. (AC 1.1)

2) Please give three examples of how you, as a member of the people practice team, conform with the Equality Act 2010 (or any updates), or regulation and law relating to ethics and professional practice in your own country. (AC 1.2)

3) Please summarise different ways people practitioners can demonstrate respectful and inclusive working in relation to:
a) contributing views and opinions
b) clarifying problems or issues
c) working effectively as part of a team (AC 2.1)

4) Please provide three recommendations for how people practice team members can find out about current issues and developments in the world of work and people practice. (AC 2.2)

5) Briefly explain how people practitioners can be proactive in their approach to continued professional development (CPD), using your own approach as an example. (AC 2.3)

Your response to this question should be supported by a copy of your own CPD Record, which must detail:

• at least three development activities you have undertaken within the last two years
• your reflections on what you learned from each activity and how that learning has impacted your professional practice or behaviour.

Present your CPD record as an attachment, either in the form of a formal/structured CPD Record or as pages from the CIPD ‘My CPD Reflections’ tool or another appropriate format as agreed with your centre. (AC 2.3)
