Event Details

Ethics – in practical terms, compliance with requirements of BSB Handbook and especially the Code of Conduct – at heart of what we do as professionals – not some technical or academic add on.

You WILL come across ethical problems – the more junior you are the more often they will arise with no warning at the last minute – stranded in some far away court.

You MUST be able to identify a problem and think it through and ask for advice. There may not be a right answer but it is better to have thought it through and done something than not to have noticed it.

You WILL find different duties often pull in different directions and what you have to do may be counter-intuitive.

This workshop will be led by:

  • Master Andrew Burns
  • Master Steven Powles
  • Tamar Burton
  • Aysha Ahman
  • Yash Bheeroo

Details of the preparation required in advance of this session is now available for those who have booked a ticket, you can download the material using the link at the top of this page. Please ensure that you prepare in good time.
