Standards of Professional Conduct
Description
These Standards are applicable to the practice of psychology and applied behaviour analysis (“the professions”) and other professional activities requiring the application of knowledge and skill associated with the practice of the professions, by all registrants of the College and all individuals providing services under the supervision of a registrant.
The Standards are intended to assist registrants in making professional judgments of an ethical nature and are not intended to determine clinical, technical, or legal matters. For the purposes of O. Reg. 195/23: PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT, made under the Psychology and Applied Behaviour Analysis Act, 2021, “standards of the profession” include the Standards of Professional Conduct (2024) as well as the nature of conduct reasonably expected of registrants.
