Professional standards are a set of guidelines, expectations, and qualifications that define the knowledge, skills, ethics, behavior, and performance required in a specific profession or industry. These standards are established by professional bodies or organizations to ensure consistency, quality, and integrity in the practice of the profession. They govern the conduct, competence, and professionalism of individuals working in that profession and serve as a benchmark for evaluating their performance and accountability. Professional standards may include codes of ethics, professional qualifications, accreditation requirements, regulatory frameworks, and best practices in that specific field.
