The Design Life Network Code of Ethics

The Design Life Network has, as the keystone of all its operations, this Code of Ethics. All coaches agree to be bound by both the spirit and the words contained therein. Non-compliance will result in immediate exclusion and termination from The Design Life Network.

Specifically, they agree to:

• Always conduct themselves in a professional manner which reflects well on themselves, The Design Life Network, and the coaching profession.
  

• Realistically convey the potential outcomes of coaching and their role and competence in achieving them.
  

• Ensure clients understand any agreements or contracts entered into in the course of coaching.
  

• Respect their clients and colleagues, their confidentiality, their interests and personal information, and not pass any of this on to a third party without the prior express agreement of the client or colleague.
  

• Have the well-being of the client as the central consideration. Where conflicts arise or there are no more benefits for the client to be gained from a particular coaching relationship, then the client's interests will guide coaches (and The Design Life Network's) subsequent actions.
