We have taken our MRS Operations Network Meetings online! 

The next one is on 6th July 2020 at 11am 

The event is FREE for any Company Partner employees with an interest in Operations and a great way to hear important information.

Professional Standards are at the very core of MRS, we champion the highest ethical, commercial and methodological practices in research. Continuously providing fair regulation, clear guidance and practical advice to ensure that research flourishes. MRS want to ensure that all our members and company partners are fully versed in the new changes to the code of conduct to ensure that projects are fully compliant. 

We have also partnered with the CIPD to bring you the their guide for Ethics in the Work Place. This webinar could be the perfect timing if you are now implementing changes to your return to work policies.

MRS Code of Conduct

Julie Corney is the MRS Standards and Compliance Manager, with responsibilities that include providing advice on the Codeline advisory service, drafting codes and guidelines and delivering standards briefings.

In late 2019 the MRS Code of Conduct was revised to reflect evolving ethical best practice and significant changes in the data protection framework.  The changes also seek to ensure that the Code keeps pace with the accelerated speed and progress of technological development and data use. Julie will outline the key changes and hot topics and answer any questions you have. 

CIPD Ethics in the Work Place

Tina Russell is the Professional Conduct and Ethics Lead at CIPD and has lead the implementation of the CIPD Code of Professional Conduct and supporting Procedures. 

Beyond the application of the Code of Professional Conduct, the CIPD new Profession Map includes ‘ethical behaviour’. Tina has been leading work on supporting ethical practice and will talk through that work including how to navigate through ethical dilemmas. 

This webinar is free to Company Partner Employees, please book your place by emailing company.partners@mrs.org.uk.
