Principle A: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence
Definition
Strive to help those with whom you work, and at the least act to avoid harming them. It's more than just "Don't do something you know will hurt others." It entails taking precautions to minimize harm to others, and not putting our own well-being or comfort first, but instead that of the client.
Term
Principle B: Fidelity & Responsibility
Definition
Establish relationships of trust and are aware of their professional/scientific responsibilities. Uphold standards of conduct, know their roles, consult with peers and show concern for ethical compliance an contribute time/efforts for little/no gains. When we make decisions, we have to follow through and deal with the consequences. Consider carefully the nature of the obligations you take on, and work to find ways to meet them.
Term
Principle C: Integrity
Definition
This means taking the extra step to make very sure things are clear, offering services of the highest quality, and retaining responsibility for the outcomes of our work. That's why we say that when the answer to an ethical dilemma begins with, "Well, technically…" the answer isn't a good one. It's part of out responsibility to go the extra step to make sure our clients understand what they are getting involved in, rather than relying on "the letter of the Ethics code." We may even turn down some work or opportunities because it would not be helpful, or could exploit others.
Term
Principle D: Justice
Definition
We are aware of our professional status in society, of how others look to us to answer questions and explain complex matters. While we might behave with the utmost integrity, we know our work can be misused by others, can be used for beneficial purposes selectively and used to deny help to some, or that even when we act with the best of intentions we might cause harm without meaning it. We strive to avoid this, to make sure our work is available to help everyone, and to be responsible for how our work is used
Term
Principle E; Respect for People's Rights and Dignity
Definition
This principle includes that we "respect the dignity and worth of all people and the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, and self-determination."
