The BCS has introduced its new membership structure to MPs
and alerted them to the need for professionalism, standards and
ethics at a special event at the House of Commons.
Education and skills secretary Charles Clarke congratulated the BCS
on its campaign to develop IT skills across the general
public.
BCS chief executive David Clarke warned MPs that the IT profession
was in danger of entering a period of public mistrust unless it
addressed standards and ethics. It is for this reason that the BCS
is driving forward its membership campaign.
The BCS has also been publicly endorsed by science and innovation
minister Lord Sainsbury and Peter Gershon, former chief executive
of the Office of Government Commerce.
