What is the ALE SPP's stance on ethical dilemmas?

The ALE SPP underscores the importance of a careful and thorough analysis of ethical dilemmas, emphasizing that such situations should not be approached lightly or with disregard for their complexities. Ethical dilemmas often involve competing values and principles, making it essential for professionals to evaluate the implications of their decisions against established ethical standards. This careful consideration helps ensure that actions taken align with the ethical obligations of the profession and ultimately uphold the integrity of the practice. Addressing ethical dilemmas in this manner fosters trust and accountability, which are vital components of professional practice.

This contrasts with other approaches, such as ignoring ethical dilemmas if outcomes are favorable or suggesting that only senior professionals should address them. Ethical challenges should be universally acknowledged and assessed, regardless of the possible positive results or the rank of the individuals involved.
