Ethics

Coaching relationships are based upon a set of principles and values.

The various coaching organisations set out their codes of ethics to guide best and safe practice. Many of these are freely available from their websites. Within organisations, internal coaching pools and programmes normally have their own bespoke codes of conduct and ethics.

Codes generally cover behaviour and issues across the following broad areas:

  • professional relationships
  • contracting, including confidentiality and information management
  • conflict of interest and dual / multiple relationships
  • safety and well-being
  • competence
  • self management and continued professional development supervision.
