BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct

The BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct is a set of guidelines established by the British Psychological Society to ensure that psychologists practice their profession responsibly and ethically. It emphasizes principles like respect, integrity, and competence in their interactions with clients, colleagues, and the wider community. Psychologists must ensure confidentiality, avoid harm, obtain informed consent, and promote the welfare of those they work with. This code serves to uphold the standards of the profession, ensuring that psychologists act in a way that is fair, trustworthy, and respectful, thereby enhancing public confidence in psychological services.
