The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has designed a Charter. The aim of this Charter is to aid in the ethical and clinical standards expected of BACD members.

• The Charter has been constructed for both the protection of the Academy and its members.
• The BACD expects all members:
• to ensure they uphold and adhere to the BACD constitution
• to ensure clinical work published in association with the BACD is of good standing and representative of our philosophy
• to ensure that they receive comprehensive training for a particular procedure, before such procedure is carried out
• to ensure that patients receive a comprehensive treatment plan, including advantages, disadvantages and costings of each option, clearly explained, in order for informed consent to be obtained
• to be aware when to refer, should case requirements be in excess of their current skill set
• to ensure they continually update their skills and clinical decision-making in the interests of their patients, and the BACD
