This here is a pretty straight forward guide:
Use the effective length in your calculation as give an design it as per your normal code requirements of a beam under bending. You'll notice that under the wrong conditions a cantilever can have an effective length of 7.5L! Put some better twist restraint in there at the supports and you can vastly improve this.
