Business AttireEvent Details
This page is to book for the afternoon session (13:15 AM - 16:15 PM). You are also encouraged to book the morning session by clicking HERE.
You may only attend a Circuit Education day in the region in which you are studying. If you have previously attended a Circuit Education Day, you cannot attend another. The Education Department reserves the right to cancel your booking.
The afternoon session includes an ethics workshop, tea break and a lecture/discussion, and counts for 2 QS points. Refreshments will be provided.
Ethics Workshop 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.
Details of the preparation required in advance of this session will be made available to ticket holders in due course, and at least one week before the session. You will be able to download it using the link at the top of this page. Please ensure that you prepare in good time.
Student members must attend all elements of the event in order to be awarded the Qualifying Session. This includes any lecture/talk/reception/dinner/speeches.
