The Code is a guidance document rather than a legally binding one that in detail spells out what a member can and cannot do. The Code sets the expectation of best practice in coaching, mentoring and supervision promoting the development of professional excellence. Its purpose is to:

• Provide appropriate guidelines, accountability and standards of conduct for all our members
• Set out how our members are expected to act, behave, and perform when working with clients
• In conjunction with our respective bodies’ professional competences, guide our members’ development and growth in the profession
• Serve as a guide for those individuals who do not necessarily identify themselves as a professional coach or mentor, but nonetheless use coaching or mentoring skills in their work
• Be used as the basis of any complaint or disciplinary hearing and action following our bodies’ respective complaints procedures.
