Code of conduct
The code of conduct was introduced to promote and safeguard the interests of the general public by establishing and maintaining a high standard of professional behaviour. Furthermore, the code should encourage public confidence in the profession, particularly through prevention or correction of any abuses which might undermine this confidence.
The code is further intended to promote the interests and welfare of freight forwarders and secure high standards of professional conduct and practice.
In the event of a member breaching the code of conduct, BIFA has the power to issue cautions, warnings or reprimands. In more serious cases it may consider suspension or expulsion.
