RAA In Practice | Code of Conduct Bingo | NSW ARB

The Session
“Code of Conduct Bingo” is an interactive workshop designed to engage architects with the NSW Architects Code of Professional Conduct and refresh everyone’s memory of the various provisions of the Code.  It addresses Performance Criteria 1 from the 2021 National Standard of Competency for Architects and is equivalent to 1.5 hours of Formal CPD.

In traditional Bingo, numbers are randomly drawn and announced, and players compete to match these on a ticket.  The first player to get a line of 5 numbers on the ticket and call out “Bingo” is the winner.

In “Code of Conduct Bingo”, instead of randomly drawing and announcing numbers, players will be taken through a scenario that is similar to an executive summary in the determination of a complaint against an architect by the NSW Architects Registration Board.  Competing in groups of 2-4 architects, players will identify issues in the scenario that they think could lead to possible breaches of the Code and match these to the relevant clauses of the Code on their ticket.  The first team to get a line of 5 possible breaches of the Code and call out “Bingo” is the winner.
