ADVICE FROM JOANNES ANTONIOUS ILICIS CONSULTANCY.

IMPARTIAL INDEPENDENCE AIMED AT CIRCUMVENTING POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS.

The importance of professional independence in relation to potential conflicts of interests both as to best practice professional procedural conduct and workplace or situational relationships, cannot be over emphasized. In particular, in relation to any subsequent third party interventions and or adjudications. For example, the police, health and safety, equality commission and labour relations agency and or human rights issues.

In many instances claims that decisions and actions are an outcome emanating from acting as a judge in one’s own cause and or serving a purpose of your own, may distract from the main substance and content of identified behaviour undermining working relations or procedural processes. Identifying evolved cultural and or arbitrary processes without appropriate safeguards.
