Description

Planners operate in a political environment where knowledge of ethical, professional procedures and practice are essential. This Practice course is intended to provide students with a framework to address vital issues surrounding professional planning practice. During their Practice Year, ethical, professional procedures and practice come to the fore and students are encouraged to think more critically of planning (particularly as a function of the State) and their role as practitioners. This course accommodates a real-world appreciation of the social, economic, ideological and political context of professional planning. Students will appreciate and reflect upon their understanding of the fundamentals of professional practice in terms of ethics, standards and negligence. The course builds an appreciation and understanding of the notion of professional ethics, enable them to recognise and respond to ethical dilemmas; as well as provide practical instruction in matters as diverse as workplace psychology, management and professional negligence.
