Professional Conduct

The Board provides advice to chaplains and employers about standards of professional conduct that can be expected of Board Registered Chaplains.

The professional associations of chaplains have authorised the Board to:

• operate procedures on behalf of the professional associations to consider, investigate and assess concerns or complaints about a registered chaplain’s ability, behaviour or professional conduct;
• make agreements with employers for chaplains to retain or regain their registration following specific packages of rehabilitation and conditions on practice;
• restrict or remove chaplains from the professional register whose professional conduct or whose fitness to practise represents a serious or persistent failure to meet the professional standards;
• provide advice to chaplains and healthcare organisations about complaints against registered chaplains.

The standards of professional conduct are set out in the the Professional Code of Conduct.
