Ethics Advisory Panel

The role of the Ethics Advisory Panel is to provide ethical advice to NZCCP members. Consulting with the Ethics Advisory Panel should not be seen as an option of last resort, but as a resource available that can be used concerning both highly complex ethical dilemmas and more routine ethical issues, at any stage of the process.

A member can seek advice from the Ethics Advisory Panel by contacting office@nzccp.co.nz. This will then be passed to the Chairperson who will disseminate the written request to the Panel. A member of the Panel will be assigned to collate and summarise the responses from the rest of the Panel and provide this to the member via the NZCCP office.

This advice is not binding but is provided to guide the member’s decision-making. It is worth noting that the Panel is not expected to act under urgency (they will however commit to reply within 3 weeks) and it is always recommended that the member also considers utilising other avenues of advice such as supervision and your indemnity insurer.
