What are the key attributes of Professional code of ethics ?

(i) Confidentiality
(ii) Interest
(iii) Loyalty
(iv) Emotional wellness

  • A.(i), (ii), (iii)
  • B.(ii), (iii), (iv)
  • C.(i), (iii)
  • D.(i), (iv)

Answer: C

The key gives (i) and (iii): confidentiality and loyalty. I could confirm part of this and not the rest.

Codes of professional ethics for teachers commonly require confidentiality about pupils and families and professional loyalty to pupils, colleagues and the profession, and both of these turned up in the codes I found. So (i) and (iii) are well supported attributes.

The doubt is about (ii) interest and (iv) emotional wellness. 'Interest' appears under the care standard of the Ontario code, so it is not clearly outside a code of ethics, and I found no published list that rules either of these out. The key's choice of only (i) and (iii) is therefore the University's reading and not something I could prove. Nothing shows it wrong, so it is kept.
