The course will also review the relevant issues relating to the outcomes needed to be achieved and the indicative behaviours in support in relation to conflict of interest, which will include examples, confidentiality and disclosure and issues around equality and diversity which is relevant to one of the new key Principles under the Code of Conduct 2011
