Reviewing the RICS Rules of Conduct – professional ethics and the public interest

Property and Construction Lecture Series - Christine O’Rourke, Head of Conduct Standards for RICS

This lecture will take place on campus, in The Great Hall, Sutherland Building. Refreshments will be served from 5:45pm in the entrance of Sutherland Building. 

About this event

In 2022 RICS revised their Rules of Conduct for members and firms. In this lecture we’ll discuss how RICS considers that the changes made help support ethical decision making, raise awareness of the public interest remit of members of the institution and highlight the role of professional ethics in some of the challenges faced by professionals and their clients.

Christine O’Rourke is the Head of Conduct Standards for RICS, with responsibility for the Rules of Conduct and other standards relating to professional conduct. She previously led the investigation and disciplinary teams in RICS regulation, and has a background in professional regulation and complaints handling, including roles at the professional regulators for teachers, psychologists and solicitors and at the Pensions Ombudsman.

This event is in partnership with the North East Initiative on Business Ethics (NIBE) . NIBE’s aspiration is to become a focal point for good business behaviour and to see the entire North East region recognised as a great place to do trustworthy, honest and transparent business.
