    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, referring Medical Practitioner remains clinically accountable for the patient and for the care offered by the practitioner.  The practitioner's care is to be complimentary.

    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.

    22. Practitioners shall not be judgmental and shall recognize the patient’s/client’s right to refuse or ignore the 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.

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

     

    15. 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® and FasterEFT Training office and staff has carried out its work or how Certified Practitioners on the eutaptics® and FasterEFT Training certification list have treated a first-party individual.



    16. FEEDBACK OR COMPLAINT FROM CLIENT


     

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


     

    17. 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® and 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® and FasterEFT Training  Ethics Advisory Committee accept anonymous complaints for consideration. The eutaptics® and 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® and 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® and FasterEFT Training  Ethics Advisory Committee members shall be appointed and this formed Panel of eutaptics® and FasterEFT Training  Ethics Advisory Committee members can conduct further investigation of the complaint.



    18. 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® and 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® and 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® and 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.

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® and FasterEFT Training  Ethics Advisory Committee may offer Complainant relevant and/or helpful advice, if appropriate.
    • Written communication with the eutaptics® and 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® and 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.

      1. No further action

      3. Attendance in relevant eutaptics® and FasterEFT Training  curricula
      4. Temporary suspension from registration (period of time will be specified)
      5. Removal of eutaptics® and FasterEFT Training  Certification
    • Practitioners/Clients will be informed of action taken by the eutaptics® and FasterEFT Training  Management Team. Note that the eutaptics® and 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.



    20. APPEAL PROCESS


     

    • 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.
