It is only through the combined effort of individual practitioners and organisations can the sector as a whole shine.
NESA has a Code of Ethics for its organisational members. The ESI, as the professional body dedicated to advancing employment services practitioners’ career and professional standing as well as recognition of the professionalism of the sector, also has the Employment Services Practitioners Code of Professional Ethics and Practice.
The Four Pillars of the Employment Services
Practitioners Code of Professional Ethics and Practice
The ESI Employment Services Practitioners Code of Professional Ethics and Practice sets out the ethical values, principles, and standards of conduct which enable employment services sector practitioners, collectively and individually, to provide the public with a high quality, ethical, professional service. This Code is also intended to enhance and protect the reputation of the profession and its members through articulating their commitment to practice according to the values, principles and behaviours it specifies. In defining this ethical framework, the Code provides employment services organisations, clients and members of the public with an understanding of what to expect in the ethical and professional conduct of practitioners. NESA also has a Code of Ethics which all corporate member organisations are required to subscribe to.
The ESI Employment Services Practitioners Code of Professional Ethics and Practice applies to all roles within employment services and will assist practitioners to achieve their professional objectives in an ethically accountable manner.
