Ethics & Standards
Ethics is central to everything we do whether in research or practice.
The Society provides helpful guidelines for researchers, teachers and practitioners. This includes the Code of Ethics and Conduct (August 2009), plus other policy documents and guidelines.

Important legal information
The Society cannot give legal advice or provide practical support to members who have been complained about. For that reason, the Society strongly recommends that members consider taking out professional indemnity insurance.
