The following procedure may serve as a guide: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The counselor should consult confidentially with a professional colleague to discuss the nature of a complaint to see if the professional colleague views the situation as an ethical violation. When feasible, the counselor should directly approach the colleague whose behavior is in question to discuss the complaint and seek resolution. If resolution is not forthcoming at the personal level, the counselor shall utilize the channels established within the school, school district, the state school counseling association and ASCA’s Ethics Committee. If the matter still remains unresolved, referral for review and appropriate action should be made to the Ethics Committees in the following sequence: - State School Counselor Association - American School Counselor Association The ASCA Ethics Committee is responsible for: ◊ Educating and consulting with the membership regarding ethical standards ◊ Periodically reviewing and recommending changes in code ◊ Receiving and processing questions to clarify the application of such standards; questions must be submitted in writing to the ASCA ethics chair. ◊ Handling complaints of alleged violations of the ethical standards.
