Code of Conduct	Achieved at Skilled for Life
Respect individual rights	Supports are individually tailored to the goals of the participant. The selection of goals is based on increasing the participant’s opportunity for independence, community access and self-determination. Families feel heard when they provide feedback, ideas and concerns. We engage compliance through the availability of salient reinforcers not force. Ensure that learners always have the capacity and opportunity to communicate during the teaching process. Ensure learners have the opportunity to make choices and decisions during sessions. Include strategies that are the least intrusive options available for teaching skills and managing behaviours of concern. Choice and control to participants, e.g. preference assessments, providing opportunity to choose time slots, discussing goals.
Respect privacy	We maintain the confidentiality of client information by ensuring that it is stored electronically and paperless wherever possible. We ensure that electronic devices used to store client sensitive information are password protected at all times and if they are lost or stolen, this is reported, and they are remotely wiped. We keep discussions and interactions, supports-focused rather than overly personal during conversations with families. We never discuss specific learners, their families or the nature of their supports, e.g., their progress, our relationship, in public settings. We avoid including identifying information when sharing relevant information about specific learner’s programs when it might be appropriate. We seek written consent from families about information sharing with others before doing so. We conduct supports out in the community with a balance of discretion and goal attainment.

Ensure participants feel free and know how to make complaints if they are not satisfied with their supports. Pass on participant concerns immediately to the relevant team member.
