Integrity and escalation practice

Respond to conflicts, errors and suspected misconduct without premature accusation.

This untimed practice set develops ethical judgement. Write a brief reason before opening the guidance. These activities teach transferable reasoning and are not live assessment items.

Practice activities

Review answer guidance

Assess materiality promptly, preserve the record, notify the accountable owner, issue a clear correction to recipients and explain which conclusions change.

A colleague may have copied work, but the evidence is incomplete. What should you record?

Review answer guidance

Record the observed similarity and source, preserve relevant material and refer it through the defined review process. Do not label the person dishonest before a fair investigation.

A gift arrives from a supplier during procurement. What is the defensible action?

Review answer guidance

Do not retain it privately. Disclose it under the gifts and conflicts policy, follow return or donation rules and remove yourself from the decision if impartiality could reasonably be questioned.
