Ethical practice distinguishes an RIBA chartered architect from
other design professionals. The RIBA Code of Professional Conduct
requires practitioners to uphold high standards, while encouraging
and empowering them to reflect critically and to continually strive
to improve. The Grenfell Tower tragedy was a significant reminder
of the ethical responsibilities of the architect, and the
importance of ethical decision-making. By making ethical practice
one of its mandatory competences, the RIBA has made it a
requirement that students and professionals develop a fundamental
level of awareness and understanding of ethics. This guide is
designed to improve industry’s grasp of ethical decision-making
as it relates to the wider world, society, clients, the workplace,
the profession, and the individual. Each chapter introduces an
ethical duty, setting out the relevant legal, regulatory and
professional context before exploring the detailed subject matter
and key principles. It includes an ethical dilemma for each duty
and views and experiences from inside the profession. Delving into
issues of equity, diversity and inclusion, social value, wellbeing
and integrity, it does not seek our ‘right’ or ‘wrong’
answers. Rather it encourages reflection on different interests,
consequences and considerations, in order to reach a considered and
balanced position. While ethical practice is invaluable in itself,
it is also vital for establishing trust with clients, improving
transparency, enhancing reputation, attracting and retaining
high-quality staff, avoiding disputes and for a high-level of
accountability that benefits the entire industry, and society more
broadly.
