✏️ A Public Service Announcement (Disguised as a Lecture)
Somewhere between your safeguarding theatre and the false allegations you mistook for duties, you misplaced your ethical foundations.
Not to worry. I’ve curated a syllabus.
๐งญ THE LOST CURRICULUM — AN ETHICAL SKELETON KEY
1. Honesty & Transparency
– State your actions plainly. Conceal nothing you’d penalise in others.
→ Impact: Public trust. Currently absent.
2. Fairness & Justice
– No vendettas. No tokenism. No procedural show trials.
→ Impact: Legitimacy, if you remember what that feels like.
3. Respect for Persons
– Interrupting disabled parents mid-breath? Not noble.
→ Impact: Credibility, faintly possible.
4. Accountability
– Stand behind your own paperwork. No ghostwriters in lanyards.
→ Impact: Consequence, at last.
5. Altruism
– Helping someone while punishing their tone? That’s not altruism. That’s performance.
→ Impact: Actual support.
6. Confidentiality
– Private data is not a whisper network.
→ Impact: One less FOI on your desk.
7. Courage
– Write the truth, even if it contradicts your strategy.
→ Impact: Heroism, albeit unfamiliar.
8. Humility
– Try: “We were wrong.” It won’t kill you.
→ Impact: Professional rebirth.
9. Environmental Responsibility
– Stop triggering asthma in medically fragile homes.
→ Impact: Breathable air. Imagine.
10. Professional Integrity
– No falsified notes. No weaponised minutes. No polished lies.
→ Impact: Legal documents that don’t read like satire.
