About this Unit

This unit introduces the core behaviours for people professionals, focusing on ethical practice to create value. It considers how certain ways of thinking and acting should be universally consistent, even in new and challenging situations, to promote a sense of well-being and inclusivity in the organisation.

What will you learn

You will develop insight into different approaches to customer focus using ethical principles to inform your approach to work. You will evaluate ethical values and contextualise them within your work, specifying the ways in which you conform to associated regulation and law. The importance of positive ways of working will be examined and you will use this to clarify problems and issues as well as contributing views and opinions in a respectful and inclusive manner. You will also discuss ways in which you recognise and accept your own mistakes and show empathy to others. Finally, you will examine the concept of reflective practice aimed at consolidating and improving your professional knowledge, skills and experience.

This unit is suitable for persons who:

are studying, aspiring to, or embarking on, a career in people practice
are working in a people practice support role and wish to develop their knowledge and deliver immediate and short-term value for their organisation
wish to develop the specialist knowledge, skills and understanding required to be a people professional.

Learning outcomes

On completion of this module, learners will be able to:

Understand insightful approaches to supporting and maintaining ethics and professional practice.
Be able to promote respect and inclusive working underpinned by professional courage and a passion for learning.

What Our Candidates Say

Hear what our successful candidates have to say about our support, tutors, online workshops, virtual learning environment and more.

My adviser was very flexible and has been extremely supportive throughout the course. She is very knowledgeable and accessible, always getting back to me really quickly and calming me down when I was panicking about my studies. I funded the Foundation Diploma myself but the investment has already paid off as I have a job that I love and a career in HR to enjoy.

Erin Kumrasamy

I enjoyed the programme. The workshops were delivered by Joseph Grech, a model facilitator who exemplified all he was teaching, he kept us all engaged and was adept at supporting the mixed group. Dee Gemmell, who was my personal adviser, was outstanding. I found her a great source of information and inspiration.

Catherine Thomasson

My experience of Watson Martin has been really positive. My adviser Marissa was very knowledgeable and it was her support that encouraged me to expand further on the units and keep to deadlines. I completed the qualification in nine months instead of ten, which I was delighted about.

I am enrolled on a CIPD programme prior to March 2021. Will the units I have completed so far count towards this qualification?

This will depend on the programme you are currently studying, your choice of modules/ units so far and how close you are to finishing your study. Foundation units do not map across but there are options to use existing units if you are studying Intermediate or Advanced qualifications. In any case, do get in touch with us to discuss your individual circumstances further and to help you decide the best way forward.
What support do I get doing the new unit/ qualification?

Whichever way you choose to study with us, you will be well supported.

We pride ourselves on the level of support we give our candidates; first and foremost you will work directly with one of our advisers who will develop a study plan with you and guide you through your programme through 1:1s. Your adviser will be easily contactable and available to answer any questions that you have.

Our advisers are all Chartered Members or Fellows of the CIPD and without question the support our advisers provide will add the most value, as shown in our excellent Coursecheck reviews.

You will also interact with our centre management team, available daily who are able to provide technical support, information on workshops and webinars and general advice about any aspect of a programme.

Our extensive library of learning materials is available 24/7 via the VLE will be made available to you with online resources for the programme and each unit including webinar recordings, articles and workbooks that our advisers have written for you.
I haven’t studied in a while, is there any study skills support?

Absolutely. We recognise that being able to access support and guidance 24/7 is important to our candidates We have developed a range of support webinars available on our VLE covering topics from critical writing to referencing that you can access and watch at a time to suit you.

Our workbooks provide you with structured learning tasks and are designed to help you complete your assessments with ease. If you are able to study on our workshop programme you will be able to speak with other HR practitioners and share you experience and ideas with them. Outside of this you can access other candidates via our VLE forums.

It is also worth noting that your experience adviser regularly provides advice and guidance for those returning to study and so is well placed to alleviate any concerns you may have. Watson Martin helps you draw upon your existing skills and experience to help answer assessments and your ability to apply what you have learnt to the workplace is key.

Each unit is assessed via written work that you will submit to your adviser and will be moderated by the CIPD. Watson Martin will provide guidance and feedback before you submit your final piece for marking. The feedback we will give you will be thorough, and you will have clear guidance on where any improvements are needed.

If you are apprehensive about studying again, please be reassured that we give you all the tools necessary to complete your qualification to the best of your ability.
