The working relationship between a practitioner and their client is governed ethically. It is a relationship, which is respectful, and valuing of each person who is a part of it. The practitioner has the primary responsibility for maintaining the ethical framework of that relationship. Practitioners respect privacy and preserve the confidentiality of information, whether verbal or written, acquired in the course of their work. Practitioners work in the best interests and for the welfare of their clients. Practitioners work with in the limits of their competence, monitoring their effectiveness and recognising the need for their on-going professional development. Practitioners demonstrate integrity and openness to their clients, and are able to separate themselves from the relationship for self-reflection. Practitioners do not exploit the client sexually or for personal, financial or other personal gain. Practitioners respect the dignity, worth and uniqueness of all individuals and affirm their autonomy. Practitioners recognise and respect diversity and differences between people. Practitioners do not practice, condone or abet unjustified discrimination or oppressive behavior. Practitioners work within the law. Within the broader context, the above ethical principles are manifest whenever applicable in all the professional activities and relationships engaged in by practitioners.
