The Framework Code is for use by each Registration Board to adopt its own Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics.
The Framework Code underwent a complete review in 2017 and in January 2018 Council approved the Framework Code for adoption by the Registration Boards in CORU. The Council Framework Code represents a clear, straightforward code incorporating common principles across each of regulated professionals. The philosophy around adopting a common code includes recognition that many of the requirements for the professions are similar and it captures most of the key requirements, even if they are not directly relevant to a profession.
