Behaviours Self-Assessment – Ethical Practice (Associate)

ACTIVITY 1 (AC 2.3, AC 3.2). Using a range of information, including feedback from others, assess your practice against the FIVE CIPD Profession Map core behaviours listed below. The 5 core behaviours (all to be selected at associate level) are:

• Ethical Practice
  • Professional Courage and Influence
  • Valuing People
  • Working Inclusively
  • Passion for Learning

Evidence to be presented:

• In the main body of your assignment, write a short summary (approx. 150 words), of the information used to inform your assessment
• Add your assessment pages as an appendix.

ACTIVITY 2 (AC 3.3) Having identified your main development needs in relation to these 5 areas, formulate appropriate development activities to meet these needs and add these to your professional development/learning plan.

Evidence to be presented:

• In the main body of your assignment, write a short explanation (approx. 250 words) for your choice of development activities
• Add the relevant pages from your development/learning plan as an appendix.

ACTIVITY 3 (AC 3.4) A key element of CPD is reflecting on the impact of our learning, so that we can make further decisions about how to progress. Select 3 formal or informal development activities you have undertaken over the last 12 months and reflect on how each of these activities has impacted your behaviour and performance. (Consider how effective the activity has been and the extent of its impact. You might also consider what new needs or action points the activity raised for you.)

Note: this reflection is retrospective and not connected to the activities planned in activity 2 above.

Evidence to be presented:

–    Written reflections on 3 development activities (approx. 750 words)

OPTION 2: Offline Documentation.

 

• For the self-assessment (Activity 1), we have provided an example template for the first 2 core behaviours at Appendix 1 of this assessment brief. If choosing this option, please extend the templates to include all 5 of the required behaviours and complete them by adding an ‘X’ in the relevant columns. The templates should then be added as an appendix to your assignment.
• For the formulation of development activities (Activity 2), determine appropriate development activities to meet your needs in relation to these 5 areas and add these to your (own format) professional development plan (PDP). The relevant pages (extract) of your PDP should be added as an appendix to your assignment.
• For the reflections activity (Activity 3), provide your written reflections within the main body of your assignment.
