Step 1 of 3

eutaptics® Code of Conduct

The Skills to Change Code of Conduct sets minimum standards for Professional Conduct for eutaptics® Practitioners, and is underpinned by the CODE OF ETHICS, which expresses the ideals and aspirations of eutaptics® Practitioners and which, along with the eutaptics® Training Seminar and Practitioner Certification Agreement, is hereby incorporated by reference.

Please be aware as a eutaptics® student you are still required to read and sign the Code of Conduct:

1.To be aware of the standards to be expected of future practitioners.

2.To set the standard for ongoing training of future practitioners.

Standards
1. Practitioners shall demonstrate respect for the religious, spiritual, political, and social views of any individual, irrespective of race, color, creed, nationality, or sex.
2. Practitioners shall at all times conduct themselves in an honorable and courteous manner, and with diligence in their relations with their patients/clients, and the public. Practitioners shall seek good relationships, and work very cooperatively, with other health care professionals, and other Skills to Change Practitioners.
3. The relationship between a practitioner and his/her patient/client, is that of a professional with a patient/client. The patient/client places trust in a practitioner’s care, skill, and integrity, and it is the practitioner’s duty to act with pure intentions at all times, and to not abuse their trust in any way.
4. Practitioners shall always conduct themselves with the highest level of moral values in relationships with patients/clients. They must behave with courtesy, respect, dignity, discretion, and tact. Their attitude shall be professional, empathetic, hopeful, and positive.
5. In furtherance of code 4 above, practitioners shall never enter into sexual relationships of any kind with a patient/client, and shall be diligent in guarding against any act, suggestion, or statement that may be interpreted, mistakenly or otherwise, as having a sexual implication.
6. Practitioners shall never claim to “cure”. The possible therapeutic benefits may be described, however, “recovery” must never be guaranteed.
7. Practitioners shall be willing to ensure that they themselves are medically, physically, and psychologically fit to practice.
8. Practitioners shall always use discretion when participating in private sessions with patients/clients who appear to be mentally unstable, addicted to drugs or alcohol, severely depressed, suicidal, or hallucinatory. Such patients/clients should be attended to, only by a practitioner with relevant competency.
9. A practitioner must not proceed with a patient/client, in any case which exceeds his/her capacity, training, or competence. Where appropriate, the practitioner must refer the patient/client to a more qualified person.
10. Practitioners who are registered medical practitioners, and members of other healthcare professions, remain subject to the general ethical codes, and disciplinary procedures, of their respective professions.
11. Practitioners shall understand that when a patient/client has been referred by a Registered Medical Practitioner, that referring Medical Practitioner remains clinically accountable for the patient, and for the care offered by the practitioner. The practitioner care is to be complimentary.
12. Practitioners shall always perform due diligence to determine whether a patient/client has been or is under the care of a medical professional, and make a record of what advice, or recommendations, that professional has provided to them.
13. Practitioners shall not advise, or contradict the instructions, or prescriptions, given by a doctor, or other Registered Medical Practitioner.
14. If the client/patient has not seen a doctor, however, they are stating that they have a particular medical issue, they shall be advised to see a doctor. No patient/client can be forced to consult a doctor. The practitioner shall create a record of advice offered, for their own protection.
15. Practitioners shall never recommend a particular course of medical treatment, such as an operation, or a particular drug. It must be the patient/client’s responsibility to make his/her decisions, concerning professional medical advice.
16. Practitioners shall never offer a medical diagnosis to a patient/client, in any circumstances; this is the responsibility of a Registered Medical Practitioner.
17. Practitioners shall not use titles, or descriptions, to provide false impressions of medical expertise, or other qualifications they do not possess.
18. Practitioners shall not prescribe remedies, herbs, supplements, oils , etc., unless they are certified, and qualified to do so.
19. Advertising must be dignified in tone, and shall not claim to offer cures. It shall serve the purpose of highlighting skills, practitioner qualifications, and services offered.
20. Practitioners shall display their certifications in their normal workplace. Practitioners who work in several locations and/or offer visiting services, shall always have copies of their certifications available.
21. Prior to a session, practitioners shall disclose to patient/clients, the fees, content, session length etc. This may be provided either verbally, or in writing.
22. Practitioners shall not be judgmental, and shall recognize the patient’s/client’s right to refuse, or ignore advice. It is the patient’s/client’s prerogative to make their choices with regard to their health, lifestyle, and finances.
23. Practitioners shall always keep clear and comprehensive records of their sessions, including the dates, and advice provided to the patient/client. This is especially important in the case of conflicts, and/or accusations of negligent actions being lodged against the practitioner.
24. Practitioners shall keep all patient/client information, such as written notes, assessments, records , etc., entirely confidential.
25. Practitioners shall not disclose any client information to any third party, including members of the patient’s/client’s own family, without the patient’s/client’s consent, unless it is required by due process of the law.
26. All practitioners shall comply with local laws, and be adequately insured to practice. Private insurance is permitted, and if adopted, practitioners must provide evidence of such. The insurance policy shall state provisions for public liability, and indemnity, as well as, the provisions for complementary modalities.
27. All practitioners shall ensure that their working environment is private, clean, safe, and suitable, for the services provided.
The Skills to Change Ethics Advisory Committee reserves the right to amend the Code of Conduct, and the Code of Ethics, as is deemed necessary. Thank you for your ongoing support for your clients, yourselves, and the eutaptics® Techniques.

eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Code of Ethics

1. COMPETENCY

Practitioners shall provide competent* services to Clients. Such services require modality knowledge and skill (specialization of relevant matter and experience), thoroughness, and preparation. (*Competency as determined by testing from Skills to Change Institute.)

Practitioners shall exercise reasonable and prudent professional judgment in providing professional services, including, but not limited to, avoidance of dual relationships (such as a dating or sexual relationship with a client) as they negatively impact the effectiveness of Practitioner and their professional integrity.

Practitioners shall keep their skills up to date with developments in the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training teachings and techniques by satisfying all continuing education requirements established by the corresponding licensing authority.

Practitioners shall withdraw services to Client if Practitioner experiences mental/physical impairment that would affect Practitioner's ability to perform duties properly.

Practitioners shall thoroughly learn and practice each particular method or technique before applying it to Client.

2. SCOPE OF PRACTITIONER’S SERVICES

Practitioners are not intended to replace any health care professional. The Practitioners’ work is deemed to be complementary to Client's professional health care.

Practitioners shall not instruct Client to leave Client's professional health care and/or cease the use of Client's medication. Rather, Practitioners shall direct Client to seek advice regarding Client's health and/or medical concerns to Client's primary health provider.

Practitioners recognize that it is the Practitioners’ responsibility to uphold all laws and regulations relating to licensure and scope of practice, in their specific locality.

Practitioners scope of service is based on Client's comfort, within the range of the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training techniques, as determined by the Practitioners and Client together.

Clients may grant Practitioners express, implied, or apparent authority in regard to their personal information or session (from formation of Practitioners/Client relationship).

Practitioners remain neutral by allowing and working with Client's own background belief systems (religious/spiritual/etc.).

Practitioners shall not offer services to, or are required to refer a Client to other Practitioners in situations where any conflict of interest between Practitioners and current or potential Client may arise.

Practitioners shall not exploit Client through Practitioners’ status.

Practitioners shall not enter a sexual relationship with Client during or for a period of no less than three months after the Practitioner-Client relationship ends.

3. DUE DILIGENCE

Practitioners shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness, without neglect during or after a session (follow up with Client and offer support).

4. INTEGRITY

Practitioners shall maintain the highest standard of professional conduct, as outlined in the Code of Conduct signed by every Practitioner.

Practitioners shall administer eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training techniques accurately, gently, compassionately, and with integrity.

Practitioners shall honor and respect the body, mind, and spirit of Client.

Practitioners recognize the power of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training techniques to affect Client's emotional releases and Practitioners shall be prepared to support Client if said releases occur.

Practitioners shall ask Client for informed consent in writing prior to conducting the session.

Practitioners shall reasonably respond to Client's requests for information, in accordance with the terms of nondisclosure. See Confidentiality below.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

Practitioners have obligations, subject to certain exceptions, to keep information, including what Practitioners see, hear, perceive, understand, and/or feel, relating to the Client confidential.

Practitioners shall not reveal information relating to the Client unless:

Client gives informed consent.

Disclosure is implicitly authorized in order to carry out the best possible service and/or most profound improvements for the Client.

Practitioners may, but may not require to (depending upon local law), reveal confidential information if Practitioners reasonably believes necessary in the scenarios below:

To prevent death or substantial bodily harm.

Harm is reasonably certain to occur either to the client or to another, either immediately or at a later date if Practitioners fail to take action necessary in response to a present and substantial threat.

If Client reveals involvement in a past, present, or future crime the Practitioners may prevent future harm by revealing the information.

To secure advice about the Practitioners’ compliance with these Code of Ethics.

Practitioners use of a hypothetical situation to discuss issues relating to the Client is permissible so long as there is no reasonable likelihood that the listener will be able to ascertain the identity of the Client or the situation involved.

Practitioners shall take reasonable precautions to ensure against being overheard.

Work Product

All notes, writings, documents, etc. are also confidential subject to the guidelines mentioned above.

Confidentiality continues after the Practitioner-Client relationship has terminated.

7. CLIENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18

For anyone under the age of 18, unless emancipated (US), consent for a session requires the signed agreement of the Client’s parent or legal guardian.

Client's legal guardians shall be made aware of the limits of confidentiality regarding the Client under the age of 18.

Practitioners shall advise the Client under the age of 18 that in the event any potential harm or danger is revealed to the Client’s safety, that these issues would best be discussed with the Client's legal guardians, provided that disclosure would be in the Practitioners’ best judgment and for the Client’s best interest.

Practitioners shall take into account local laws pertaining to age of consent.

8. CLIENT WITH DIMINISHED CAPACITY

Practitioners are required to uphold all ethical considerations as with a typical Client, including confidentiality.

If Client is unable to act in the Client's own best interest, Practitioners may then defer to the judgment of Client's legal guardian.

Consent for a session requires the written agreement of the Client’s legal guardian if the Client is precluded from entering into legal agreements due to their diminished capacity.

Even if no Practitioner-Client relationship forms, information from discussions still falls under confidentiality rules.

The onset of a Practitioner-Client relationship does not depend on the existence of a written contract or fee payment.

Violate or attempts to violate rules of professional conduct or knowingly assists or encourages another to do so.

Reporting Practitioners are expected to report truthfully and accurately.

Note that information protected by confidentiality does not require disclosure. If the violation requires that confidential information be revealed, Reporting Practitioners must obtain a signed release form from the client involved.

13. COMMUNICATION PROCESS

eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training and the Ethics Advisory Committee are committed to providing high quality services at all times. Therefore, the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee values a forum where practitioners, trainers, trainees, and clients alike can raise any question regarding ethical concerns that may arise, and where feedback and complaints can be sent and resolved on a prompt, fair, and objective basis. See Feedback or Complaint below.

The eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee holds the responsibility explained above. Members of the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training community are welcome to contact the Committee for formal and informal questions, feedback, or discussions regarding Ethics. See Feedback or Complaint below.

14. FEEDBACK OR COMPLAINT

Feedback is information about reactions to a product, a person's performance of a task, etc. which is used as a basis for improvement.

A complaint is a written expression of dissatisfaction. This may relate to either how the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training office and staff has carried out its work or how Certified Practitioners on the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training certification list have treated a first party individual.

15. FEEDBACK OR COMPLAINT FROM CLIENT

Same as Feedback or Complaint from Certified Practitioner, as outlined below.

16. FEEDBACK OR COMPLAINT FROM CERTIFIED PRACTITIONER

Peer to peer professional courtesy is expected of all Certified Practitioners and practitioners-in-training. If Certified Practitioners or practitioners-in-training perceive a colleague as possibly behaving out of conformity with the Code of Ethics, it is recommended to contact that colleague directly in a professional and courteous manner in order to resolve said perceived violation.

If this approach is unsuccessful or, in practitioners’ best judgment, said approach seems inappropriate, then the Ethics Advisory Committee may be contacted. Contacting the Ethics Advisory Committee for advice does not necessarily commit the inquirer to pursuing a formal complaint.

The eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee will consider complaints against Certified Practitioners and practitioners-in-training and help resolve said complaints through mediation, education, and/or corrective actions.

The Ethics Advisory Committee will consider only those complaints relating to a specific provision of the Code of Ethics, and only regarding regular Certified Practitioners and practitioners-in-training in good standing. Records are kept of all complaints and their handling. A member of the FEFT Management team reviews this record annually.

In no case will the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee accept anonymous complaints for consideration. The eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee does not attempt to resolve complaints regarding third parties.

Complaints regarding the ethical standing of other Certified Practitioners and practitioners-in-training shall be submitted in writing by E-mail (wecare@skillstochange.com) to the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee. A minimum of two members of said Committee (the Panel) shall conduct a preliminary review of the matter. The complaint will be dismissed if (1) the matter lacks sufficient merit; (2) the complaint contains insufficient or unreliable information; or (3) the matter in question is beyond the scope of the Code of Ethics or its jurisdiction.

If the matter in question is deemed to be within the scope of the Code of Ethics, additional eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee members shall be appointed and this formed Panel of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee members can conduct further investigation of the complaint.

17. PROCEDURE FOR INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT

The Panel will:

Determine what Ethics, if any, are in violation.

Clarify facts in the complaint from opinion, and organize evidence given, if any.

Remind Complainant that the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee’s primary focus is to educate Certified Practitioners and practitioners-in-training. Therefore, financial or any other compensation for perceived damages is not an option. The eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee in some cases may facilitate mediation and reconciliation between Complainant and Practitioner. A decision to pursue legal action is beyond the scope of the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee and all its parts.

If a breach of the Code of Ethics has occurred, the panel shall determine the appropriate corrective action, within its jurisdiction.

At no time will the complaint be investigated by anyone involved in the substance of said complaint.

18. SPECIFIC STEPS IN INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT

Complainant shall be sent through E-mail (wecare@skillstochang.com), on which to document the nature of the complaint, events that took place, Complainant's desired outcome, and any other information Complainant deems relevant to the matter. Also present will be a space for Complainant to acknowledge and give permission to the Certified Practitioners in question to disclose any relevant information and/or clinical records to the Ethics Advisory Committee. Complainant's permission for Practitioner to disclose information is necessary in order for any investigation to move forward. If Complainant refuses to authorize such permission, the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee may offer Complainant relevant and/or helpful advice, if appropriate.

Written communication with the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee must be done through E-mail (wecare@skillstochange.com). It is Sender's responsibility to confirm with Recipient if content was received. Once received, Recipient has responsibility to confirm with Sender through return E-mail. Emails shall be considered confidential information and are not to be shared with parties uninvolved in the matter. E-mails directed towards the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee may be shared between committee members when appropriate.

Once the complaint form is submitted, the Panel will then contact the Practitioner or Client in question through written form.

Practitioner/Client shall be given thirty (30) days to respond to the complaint by providing information regarding Practitioner/Client’s interaction with Complainant, the events that occurred, Practitioner/Client’s interpretation of the dispute, a desired outcome, and any other information or evidence that Practitioner/Client deems relevant.

Panel will then review the information provided by both parties and further evaluate whether a breach of the Code of Ethics has occurred.

If Panel concludes a breach to have indeed occurred, Practitioner/Client shall be informed of this breach and the specific corresponding code violated, as well as be invited to respond specifically to this newly revealed aspect.

Once the Practitioner/Client responds, the Complainant shall be informed and also invited to comment, if relevant.

Panel shall inform Practitioner/Client of Panel's conclusions by relating events to the corresponding ethical code(s) in violation.

Practitioners/Clients will then be invited to respond to the Panel's conclusions.

If, after careful consideration by the Panel, it is decided that a breach of Ethics has occurred, a report will be sent to the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Management Team for action that may include, but is not limited to:

No further action

An admonishment

Removal of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Certification

Practitioners/Clients will be informed of action taken by the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Management Team. Note that the eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Management Team reserves the right to deny training, registration or certification to whom it wills, for such reasons that include, but are not limited to, deliberate misrepresentation of qualifications, sexual assault, and/or criminal or otherwise dishonest behavior.

Panel's initial assumption is that the Practitioner’s breach is unintentional unless proven otherwise. Panel strives to maintain a neutral position free of premature judgments and prejudice.

A Practitioner/Client wishing to contest Panel's final decision may submit an Email stating reasons for appeal, limited to questions of fact and procedure. The entire eutaptics® FasterEFT™ Training Ethics Advisory Committee shall then review the panel's final decision. A fee may be charged to cover the cost involved in the appeal process.
