About the Professional Conduct Panel
The Professional Conduct Panel is one of several member-led panels and committees at the ICE.
The PCP is tasked with conducting initial investigations into formal allegations of professional misconduct made against ICE members.
Where the panel finds that a member has a case to answer, the matter is referred to the Disciplinary Board (DB) for further action.
The chair of the PCP plays an integral role in guiding these investigations and ensuring that all cases are handled with fairness and impartiality.
The panel meets quarterly to discuss complaints and reviews cases between meetings through sub-committees known as 'quorums'.
On average, panel members review about 15 cases per year, ensuring that the full panel can engage in informed discussions during quarterly meetings.
The chair is responsible for conducting these meetings, ensuring the full agenda is covered, and that discussions remain focused and productive within the allotted time.
Panellists play a vital role in upholding the ICE’s rules of professional conduct and safeguarding the profession’s standards.
