  3. A definition of professionalism “It is because professionals face complex and unpredictable situations that they need a specialised body of knowledge; if they are to apply that knowledge, … they need autonomy to make their own judgements. Given that autonomy, it is essential that they act with responsibility; collectively they need to develop appropriate professional values” Furlong et al (2000 : 5) cited by Jocelyn Robson in ‘Teacher Professionalism in Further and Higher Education’, (2006 : 11)
