2011, p.123). The Hypnotherapy Society developed their code of ethics from the BACP code of ethics 2002. It is a lengthy document so I will extract the issues that illustrate the overriding principles that an ethical therapist will adhere to.

Other ways of entry could be by being let in by a relative or family member and this should be advised by the carer’s office. This should also be documented in the care plan folder. Agreed times and preferences in respect of entry and departure will also be documented in the care plan folder Be able to gain entry to an individuals home Entry and departure will be usually by use of a key safe, a relative, home manager or the service user themselves.

For this reason, it is best to make sure each call received is handled with excellence. I am going to share a few key ideas to remember when it comes to phone etiquette: 1.

Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? 1700 words The initial consultation is the first face-to-face interaction between the client and therapist. This is a two way process which has a number of very important functions which together ensure that the subsequent course of hypnotherapy, if both parties agree to proceed, is as effective as possible and maintains the high professional and ethical standards clients would expect. A detailed initial consultation lays the foundation for a successful client-therapist relationship and an effective course of hypnotherapy.
Always remember that in Health and Social Care, that confidentiality is a must, and alongside Data Protection these two rules must always be obeyed. When communicating with Service users it is essential that you communicate in a way that is understood by the individual.

It is important both physically and mentally for a service user to make choices each day. It has an influence on social care work, because we need to make sure that we are communicating well, and listening to the individual's wishes and preferences, and we need to remember not to dothings without discussing it with service user.
Now it is time to discuss the purpose for AICPA’s code, why it is considered the foundation of ethical reasoning, and its most important purposes. The purpose of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct is to, “represent the expectations for CPAs on the part of the public in performance of professional services,” (Mintz, S. & Morris, R. 2011. p. 14). Currently the majority of CPAs belong to the AICPA; so the fact that the code of professional conduct has been established and accepted by the members themselves, it is considered as the foundation of ethical reasoning in accounting. Principles of the Code reflect the member’s recognition and understanding of its responsibilities to the public, clients and other CPAs. They are used to keep members focused on
In other words, the way we support our service users should reflect and illustrate what has been written in the legislation. We should therefore make sure that we promote anti-discriminatory practice, inclusion, equal opportunities, equality and diversity, and confidentiality to promote best practise.
