Ethics … two ways
Shallow
Recording and reflecting on ethics
Deeper
Professional Responsibility to reflect on professional issues and practice
Concerns• Tutor engagement
• Staff and Students
• It’s yet another system
• T/T meetings: NESS / Eportfolio
• Purge rather than little-and-often
• What we have done won’t suit everyone
• Other subject areas
• Individual students
Summary
In supporting the 2012 offer package, we are trying to increase awareness and stimulate engagement with professional standards.
We see this as part of the student’s professional development, their lifelong learning, and as such a key part of their professional practice.
