Workshop Description:
This interactive workshop explores the seven key principles of the Code of Professional Conduct while providing participants with practical tools to strengthen ethical decision-making and critical thinking skills.

Throughout the workshop, participants will examine how the Code of Professional Conduct applies before, during, and after assignments through practical examples, gain an in-depth understanding of DC-S analysis, practice applying concepts through case studies, and analyze challenging scenarios using guided worksheets and discussion.
