Patrick Cawley and Andrew Reeves look at to Section C of the new Ethical Framework specifically at Core responsibility 2, Keeping ourselves and our colleagues safe.
They discuss what this means in practice, and how it can inform your therapeutic work and ethical decision-making.
Using Ethics essential resources
These resources are not contractually binding on members but provide information, observations and questions to help you make ethical decisions within your practice.
Individual practice issues are often complex and will vary depending on your clients, models of working, the context of the work and the kind of therapeutic intervention provided. We'd always recommend discussing practice dilemmas with a supervisor, a legal advisor or another suitably qualified and experienced professional.
