Lola Thorne: Code of ethics

I am committed to delivering a high standard of practice as identified in my Code of Ethics.

A Summary

I will work openly and honestly, with integrity and with respect to the client and their significant others.

I will provide clear documentation to clients about the roles, responsibilities and rights for all involved in the coaching.

I am committed to the client's right to confidentiality and will be clear about the legal requirements in which confidentiality cannot be maintained.

Personal data is fairly and lawfully processed, maintained and stored.

I am required to keep myself informed of, and comply with, (a) current best business practices and (b) legal requirements that may affect my work.

I will only coach children under the age of 18 with the written consent of parent or guardian and I will provide a specific agreement for each family that agrees the level of confidentiality to ensure the well-being of the child.

I strive to recognize both personal issues and professional limitations that may impair or, conflict with, my coaching ability.

All clients are given a full copy of my Code of Ethics, including information about conflicts of interest, specific legal requirements and my commitment to professional development.
