In the UK, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) lists occupational therapists' proficiency standards on its website. They say that occupational therapists must practice within their scope of practice, be able to practice within their profession's legal and ethical boundaries, maintain fitness to practice, and exercise professional judgment, to name a few.

You may sometimes be asked to do unethical things as an occupational therapist. The interviewers ask this question to see that you are honest, ethical, and have integrity. They want to hear that you have morals and can be trusted in your position. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal something or someone asking you to do something you knew was morally wrong. Describe a time you had your ethics tested and how you responded.
