IARP introduced its first code of ethics in 1981. This living document provides ethical guidelines to supplement and complement those codes from credentialing and professional bodies from which IARP's members originate.
The last revision of the IARP Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and Competencies started in 2003 and was approved by the IARP Board in 2005.
Because a code of ethics is a dynamic document, its periodic review, revision, and update to reflect contemporary needs of IARP members is important. In January 2014, the IARP Board of Directors accepted a proposal to develop an ad hoc Code of Ethics Revision Task Force to undertake review of the current code and provide recommendations as to potential revisions.
Students are especially welcome to contribute to this process. As future practitioners, you have a vital interest in how the code is formulated. So volunteer today by completing this online Volunteer form:

Starting in Phase II, anticipated participation in the Revision Task Force will be about one to two hours per week through Phase III. Phases IV and V will likely be 1-2 hours per month.
The Task Force will contain members with little and much experience in professional ethics, represent different areas of the country, and be as diverse demographically, in professional discipline, and geographically as possible given IARP's membership. Your input as a student is crucial!
Your time and involvement is welcome and appreciated!
