1.3- Ethical Decision-Making ProcessThis document outlines a process that will enable you to make thoughtful and responsibledecisions in situations presenting ethical or moral dilemmas. To this end, a series of stepswill be proposed, each emphasizing certain questions. These steps are summarized inthe diagram on the following page.If you follow this path and answer the questions to the best of your knowledge, you will:(1) ensure you have a thorough process to enable you to make sensitive decisions;(2) have solid arguments to justify your decisions from an ethical point of view; and(3) feel confident to fully assume the consequences of your decisions, knowing that “itwas the right thing to do under the circumstances”.Note: The process described in the following sections applies to situations that do notrequire an emergency response by the coach. In the case of crucial and urgent situations,for instance when a person is injured or if there is an imminent risk for the safety ofpeople, the duty of the coach is to take whatever measures he/she feels are necessary inthe short term to manage the situation, and to protect the individuals concerned. Theseparticular aspects are dealt with in the “Planning a practice” module, in sections of theReference Material that cover risk factors, emergency action plan, and coach liability.© Coaching Association of Canada, 2003 2
