What is the responsibility of the College regarding the Code of Ethics?

The responsibility of the College regarding the Code of Ethics includes ensuring that it is available to the public. This availability is crucial because it promotes transparency and accountability within the profession. By providing public access to the Code of Ethics, the College helps to set clear standards of practice and ethical conduct for healthcare professionals. This openness allows patients, families, and the wider community to understand the ethical obligations of practitioners, which ultimately enhances trust in the healthcare system.

While revising the Code, creating it, or enforcing compliance are also important aspects of managing professional conduct and guidelines, the key focus here is on public accessibility. Making the Code readily available not only facilitates adherence by professionals but also empowers the public to be informed about the ethical standards expected of healthcare providers.
