Code of Practice

Other Professions’ Codes This Code applies to all members regardless of their fields of activity, contracts of employment or membership of other professional organisations. FAEBC recognises that members may participate in other professional activities and that when they do so the rules of the relevant professions’ governing bodies will take precedence over this Code.

Under normal circumstances the FAEBC would take no action under this Code if the matter is also under consideration by another, more directly involved, professional body. However, such action may be considered necessary if the matter raises issues connected with a member’s status as a member or an architect.

Discipline 1. Contraventions of this Code Any member who contravenes this Code shall in accordance with

Byelaw 4 of the FAEBC Charter and Byelaws, be liable to reprimand, suspension or expulsion. The power to sanction a member for professional misconduct is exercised by the Disciplinary Committee on behalf of the Royal Institute’s Council through a delegation of authority made under Byelaw 4.4. 2.

Remit Members’ conduct outside the practice of architecture will not normally fall within the remit of this Code and the FAEBC Disciplinary Procedures, unless the Disciplinary Committee determines that such conduct generally offends against the honour and integrity of the profession. 3.

Judgments from External

Competent Authorities A judgment from a competent court or tribunal against a member in his or her professional capacity as an architect may be considered sufficient evidence of a breach of this Code. 4.

Investigations Any member, against whom a complaint of professional misconduct has been received, may be required to answer inquiries arising under the

Disciplinary Procedure Regulations. At the conclusion of an investigation, the Disciplinary Committee may reprimand, suspend or expel any member whose conduct is found to be in contravention of this Code or otherwise inconsistent with the status of a member.
