Learning outcomes

The seminar aims to provide theoretical, but above all practical, elements of professional ethics, a fundamental aspect of the future professional work of the students attending the degree course.

Course contents

All professions, often also employment relationships, imply due respect of codes of conduct, called deontological codes, inspired by identical fundamental principles, and then declined into specific contents, depending on the features of the individual activities.

Within the seminar, discussion will cover the general framework of the deontological issues, the fundamental principles on which all professional codes are based, the steps of the disciplinary procedure and its sanctionary system, in order to analyze then, with a case related method and with the aid of experts in the field, including specific topics of considerable delicacy, such as professional confidentiality, duty of confidentiality (and its implications in the matter of privacy protection) and practicing of the profession.

The course will consist of 5 meetings of two hours each, which will deal with the notion of deontology and its relationships with professional responsibility, the fundamental principles of the code of ethics, relations with colleagues and clients, conditions of legitimate practice of the profession, duty of confidentiality, privacy obligations and disciplinary procedures.
