APM Code of Professional Conduct
As the chartered body for the project profession, we’re committed to setting the highest standards of professional conduct for all project professionals. As such, all individual members of APM and all Chartered Project Professionals (ChPPs) are required to abide by the APM Code of Professional Conduct (CPC).
This is one of the mainstays of professionalism and being part of a professional body. Individuals commit to work in a professional and ethical way and be held accountable for their actions. Complaints under the CPC can result in personal sanctions including words of advice, reprimand, suspension and expulsion from APM. Knowing that members and ChPPs can be held to account in this way enhances the individual’s reputation and that of the overall profession.
How it works
- Our Royal Charter requires APM to regulate the conduct of members and ChPPs.
- The Code of Professional Conduct is approved by the Board of Trustees and sets the standards expected of a project professional.
- Alleged breaches of the Code are considered in line with the procedural rules.
- Please read the procedural rules if you are considering raising a professional conduct complaint. This process is for alleged breaches of the Code of Professional Conduct. For other general issues on APM, please see the complaints and feedback process on our contact page.
- We have also issued Indicative Sanctions Guidance. This sets out the factors which will help determine the most appropriate sanction for specific breaches of the Code.
- Please use the complaint form to register a complaint against a member or ChPP of APM.
