| Term | Definition | Section |
|---|---|---|
| Abuse | Violation of another person's rights, for example by physical force, psychological manipulation or deception. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP35 |
| Accountability | Taking responsibility for one鈥檚 work and being willing to give an accurate account听about what has occurred to anyone to whom this responsibility is appropriately听owed, for example, clients, employers and professional colleagues. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C6, GP50鈥�54 |
| Accurate | All due care has been taken about the truthfulness, completeness and exactness听of what is being communicated. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2e, 5b, E12, GP15, 45, 71, 75 |
| Accurate records | Records that are factually correct and complete and are careful to distinguish fact听from opinion or interpretation. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2e, GP15, 71 |
| Adjustments | Changes to the physical circumstances or the way that a service is delivered in听order to make it accessible to someone, particularly someone with a disability. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP22f |
| Agency | 1) Any organisation that provides the services to clients. 2) The right to use one鈥檚 own power and authority to act for self. |
香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP64; 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E12 |
| Agreement | A shared understanding between two or more people about any terms or听conditions that have been mutually accepted. Agreement is an essential听requirement for a legally enforceable contract. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP26, 31, 31a, 31b, 31f, 64, 83d |
| Anonymised | The removal of any information that would allow the person concerned to be听identified or identifiable by any means from what is being communicated.听Failure to anonymise adequately within the counselling听 professions can lead to a听breach of trust with the person concerned and cause harm resulting in significant听embarrassment, anxiety or distress. Where there is any uncertainty about whether听anonymisation will protect someone鈥檚 identity, it is ethically and legally good听practice to seek that person鈥檚 explicit consent to use that information and for how听that information will be used. Anonymisation is different in meaning from 鈥榩seudonymisation鈥�, a term used听in current data protection regulations. 鈥楶seudonymisation鈥� is defined as 鈥榯he听processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no听longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional听information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is听subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data听are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person鈥� (GDPR Article听4.5). An example of this would be where a client鈥檚 contact details and the client鈥檚听records are kept separately, but linked with a reference number. Pseudonymised听information is regarded as personal data, and subject to the data protection law. By contrast, anonymised information ceases to be 鈥榩ersonal data鈥� with the associated听legal requirements and protection when any means of identifying the person听concerned has been genuinely and irreversibly removed. The GDPR is very clear:听'The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous听information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or听identifiable natural person, or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a听manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable. This regulation does听not therefore concern the processing of anonymous information, including for听statistical or research purposes.鈥� (GDPR (26)). |
香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP55g, 78, 83a. |
| Appropriate | Fitting and ethically right for its purpose. This term is widely used throughout the听Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. | 听 |
| Appropriate records | Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary. The decision about what听is appropriate will take into account the ethical and legal requirements for听processing (includes making, keeping, using and sharing) records. See 听(www.ico.org.uk) for the latest information. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2e |
| Attitudes | Persistent ways of feeling, behaving or holding an opinion about someone or听something. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP74 |
| Being trustworthy | The principle of being trustworthy prioritises honouring the trust people place in听the practitioner, both as a person and as a professional, with particular attention听to being trustworthy to clients in the counselling professions. This principle听underpins the emphasis on integrity, openness and honesty, candour, integrity,听and probity throughout the Ethical Framework. Even when a practitioner has done听everything in their power to be trustworthy, this cannot guarantee that trust will听be given. The most a practitioner can achieve is to create the conditions in which听it would be appropriate to be trusted. Whether or not trust is granted depends on听the other person. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E5 |
| Boundaries | The limits in relationships between practitioners and their clients that, if crossed听could cause harm to the client or contravene professional standards and ethics. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C4c, GP33, 33a, 63, 79 |
| Breaching confidentiality | Disclosing something that has been communicated in confidence by mutual agreement听or with the expectation that it will be kept secret. The expectation of secrecy may have听been stated expressly or implied. Confidentiality is breached when any disclosure is听made without the consent of the person concerned, legal authorisation or being legally听defensible in the public interest. Breaches can occur accidentally or deliberately. In听most circumstances, obtaining the consent of the person concerned provides an ethical听way of avoiding a breach of confidentiality. Any disclosure of confidential information听requires respecting the possible rights to confidentiality of any third person who is听identifiable within the disclosure. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP9 |
| Candour | A commitment by practitioners about being open and honest about anything听going wrong and to inform clients promptly if anything has occurred that places听the client at risk of harm or causes harm to their wellbeing or safety, even if the听client is unaware of what has occurred. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C6, E12 and GP52a-e |
| Capability | The capacity to be able to do something. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E12, GP29, 57 |
| Children and young people | Anyone under the age of 18 years in the UK.听 See also:听Safeguarding |
香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP27a-d |
| Circle of confidentiality | This circle represents the boundary between people who are included or听excluded from the confidentiality agreement with the client. It encompasses all听the people who have access to confidential information about clients as part听of their usual work and are explicitly committed to treating that information as听confidential, typically as a term of their employment. The people within the circle听of confidentiality may be identified to clients by name or role, for example in听contracting. The communication of confidential information beyond the circle听of confidentiality will require client consent, being legally defensible in the听public interest, or legal authorisation by court order or statute. See also:听Confidentiality |
GP55b |
| Client | A client is anyone in receipt of coaching, counselling, pastoral care, psychotherapy听or counselling skills from a member or registrant of the British Association for听Counselling and Psychotherapy. This includes being a supervisee or trainee. All听clients are entitled to receive services that satisfy the commitments stated in听the current Ethical Framework in ways that are appropriate to the type of service听being provided and its setting. Trainees, supervisees, and participants in research听will receive the same applicable commitments and ethical standards as any client听receiving services from a member of the counselling professions. This term is widely used throughout the Ethical Framework for the Counselling听Professions. |

| Consent | An agreement to a course of action based on a shared understanding of what听will be involved. In the General Data Protection Regulation 鈥榗onsent鈥� of the data听subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication听of the data subject鈥檚 wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear听affirmative action, signifies agreement in the processing of personal data relating听to him or her (GDPR (32); Article 4.11; Article 7). See also:听Informed consent |

| Contract | 听An agreement, written or oral, between the people involved about the terms听on which something (goods or services) will be provided. Any business听and therapeutic terms and conditions that are agreed between counselling听professionals and their clients will usually form part of the legal contract between听them. Contracts may be useful in reinforcing and clarifying practitioners鈥� ethical听commitments to their clients and should generally be in writing, or in another听form appropriate to the client鈥檚 needs. It is good ethical practice to ensure that听any contractual terms are clear and easily understandable and that the contract听is readily available for the people concerned to check what has been agreed听between them. It is a legal requirement that any information and communication听relating to the processing of personal data should be 鈥榚asily accessible and easy听to understand, and that clear and plain language be used鈥� (GDPR (39)) Where听appropriate, information may be given using electronic form or using visualisation.听Communications to a child 鈥榮hould be in such a clear and plain language that the听child can easily understand鈥� (GDPR (58)). | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: Introduction, GP31, 31a, 31b, 31f, 38, 55e, 83d |
| Contractual incompatibilities | These occur when there are differences or contradictions between contracts that听apply to the work being undertaken. Incompatibilities may arise, for example,听between a contractual agreement with a client, the practitioner鈥檚 agreements with听supervisors and/or trainers, the contractual terms and conditions of a professional听body to which a practitioner belongs, a practitioner鈥檚 contract of employment, any听contractual agreements or regulatory requirements that apply to an organisation听employing the practitioner. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP31f, 83d |
| Counselling | A specialised way of listening, responding and building relationships based听on therapeutic theory and expertise that is used help clients or enhance their听wellbeing. This term is widely used throughout the Ethical Framework for the听Counselling Professions. | 听 |

| Counselling skills | A specialised application of communication skills informed by therapeutic听theory and practice that are considered essential to practice in the counselling听professions or may be incorporated into other roles, for example in health, social听care, education, and human resources. The use of counselling skills outside the听counselling professions may be regulated or informed by that profession鈥檚 codes听of ethics and standards. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: Introduction, GP3 |
| Counselling related services | 听Used generically in a wider sense, to include the practice of counselling,听psychotherapy, coaching, mentoring and pastoral care. See also:听Practitioner |

| Generalisable | A rule or principle derived from research that has wide or general application. | 听 |
| Harm | Emotional, psychological, relational, social, behavioural or physical damage, or听neglect are forms of harm that may result in distress, heightened anxiety, damage听existing relationships, reduce the capability to relate to others, and undermine the听self-respect or sense of personal worth of the person concerned. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C6b, E5, 12, GP9, 10, 11, 33b, 33c, 37, 52, 52a, 52b, 55d |
| Identity | Sense of self in relationship to others that forms the basis of responsibility and听motivation. Identity may have wide variations between people. Differences听between between individualistic, relational and collective identity can be听particularly relevant to the counselling professions and how people understand听their own autonomy or agency, relate to others, or find the social resources that听support their resilience and resourcefulness. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E12, GP22d, 22e, 22g, 83a |
| Inclusion | Being welcomed and drawn into an activity or service on an equal basis to anyone听else. | GP22a, 23 |

| Justice | The principle of justice prioritises treating all clients fairly and impartially, and听ensuring the adequate provision of services. This principle underpins respecting听equality, diversity and inclusivity in how services are provided, being attentive听to how ethical and legal obligations are implemented, a willing readiness to be听accountable for decisions and actions, and a commitment for striving towards a听provision of services that are accessible, fairly distributed, and of sufficient quality听and quantity for potential clients. Managing any reduction in services due to听shortages according to the principle of justice is particularly challenging. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E5 |
| Knowledge | A practitioner has knowledge when they are aware of and understand something听both theoretically and practically. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2b, E3, 12, GP14, 14d, 14e, 20, 22g, 27b, 62, 74, 84, 86 |

| Law | A system of public morals that are enforceable in the courts. The main sources听of law are statutes, subsidiary legislation, and decisions made in courts (also听known as case law). The commitment to giving the law 鈥榗areful and conscientious听consideration鈥� requires knowing the law relevant to their practice and to听carefully consider how it ought to be applied to their circumstances. Careful听or conscientious consideration may require practitioners to consult legal or听expert advice when appropriate. Ideally law and ethics match each other but听this is not always the case. When a conflict between ethics and law arises, it听may be appropriate to campaign for changes to the law whilst observing the听applicable law. Conscientious objection to a legal requirement that leads to听defying the applicable law is not something to be undertaken lightly as it requires听a willingness to be openly accountable for resisting or breaking the law, an听acceptance of the risk that legal penalties may be imposed, and may require听consideration under the Professional Conduct Procedure. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP9, 14f, 23, 27c, 46, 70 |
| Mental capacity | The legal term for the mental ability to make one鈥檚 own decisions, defined in听England and Wales in the Mental Capacity Act 2005, the Mental Health Acts 1983听and 2007,the Mental Health Act 1983 Code of Practice (DH 2015), and the impact听of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which听came into effect in 2008.

| Professional standards | Working to a recognised level or quality of performance, which applies to all听services of that type.听A fundamental professional standard sets the baseline for quality and safety听below which a service ought not to be provided. Achieving the fundamental听standard requires adequate resources for the type of work being undertaken听combined with reasonable care and skill in how the work is delivered.听An enhanced quality standard sets the level above the fundamental standard that听is achievable through good use of existing resources.听Developmental standards are ones that practitioners or the agency are aiming to听achieve in the future. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2, GP13-20, 66, 67, 83b, 83c, 91b |
| Pseudonymisation | 听Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.鈥� General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR: Art 4 (5)). Note that pseudonymisation is intended to be an addition to other forms of data protection measures and is not intended to preclude any other measures for data protection.听(GDPR (26); (28)). | 听 |
| Psychotherapy | A specialised way of listening, responding and building relationships based on听therapeutic theory and expertise that is used help clients or enhance their wellbeing. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: Introduction, GP3 |
| Quality | The level of excellence achieved in how the research has been undertaken and听reported. | 听 |
| Qualitative research | Qualitative research primarily uses exploration, for example, to gain an听understanding of perceptions, opinions, reasons and motivations. Data collection听methods may involve unstructured, or semi- structured techniques, and may听include participation and collaboration involving both the researcher and听participants. Participatory research provides the potential for the researcher听to involve participants in a joint consideration of ethical issues throughout the听research process, and in determining the findings. | 听 |
| Quantitative research | Quantitative research uses methods that emphasise objective measurements and听the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected, for example,听through polls, questionnaires and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing听statistical data, using computational techniques. | 听 |
| Reasonably foreseeable limitations to confidentiality | Any limitations that a reasonably competent practitioner ought to be able to听anticipate as causing difficulties in protecting clients鈥� confidences, for example,听arising from legal or contractual obligations to disclose confidential information听or to protect people from serious harm. Some situations that arise in practice may听be so unexpected or exceptional that they are not considered to be reasonably听foreseeable. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP55d |
| Record | A catch-all word that includes all notes, records, memoranda, appointments,听communications and correspondence, photographs, artefacts, video or audio听recordings about an identifiable client. Records may exist in any format, typically听but not exclusively, on paper or electronically. There is no distinction between听factual and process notes in what the law regards as a record.听 | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C2e, GP15, 31d, 32e, 71 |
| Regulation | An authoritative rule or instruction.听 | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP14f, 83a |

| Reliable electronic resources | Information and resources accessed by electronic means that have been subjected听to good quality controls before the item was posted and/or are from people or听bodies who are respected for the accuracy and soundness of their output. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP14a |
| Research | A systematic enquiry or experiment to advance knowledge听typically using statistical or qualitative methods. See also: Appendix C |
香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP3, 14b, 84-90 |
| Research participants | Someone being studied or providing information to a research project.听鈥楶articipant鈥� is now widely preferred over 鈥榮ubject鈥� as it places greater emphasis听on the active engagement of the person concerned rather than viewing them as听depersonalised or passive. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP88, 89 |
| Resilience | The ability to overcome or recover from challenging situations. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E3, 10, 11, 12 |
| Review | Carefully reconsider, examine or inspect. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: C6c, GP14d, 32, 33d, 65, 89 |
| Rigour | Quality criteria that when applied to all types of research refers to the听thoroughness with which the relevant methodological principles or quality criteria听have been achieved in the research. In traditional quantitative and experimental听research, rigour usually refers to achieving high validity, reliability and听generalisability. In most qualitative research that is not aiming at generalisable听knowledge, rigour requires high validity and providing sufficient contextual听information to enable readers to decide what is transferable to other contexts that听are of interest to them. As this type of qualitative research is contextually specific听and therefore difficult to repeat in the exactly the same way, transferability听replaces reliability as an indication of rigour. | 听 |
| Risks | Exposure to danger of physical, psychological or social harm. | 听 |
| Safeguard(ing) | Protecting people鈥檚 health, safety, wellbeing and human rights in order to enable听them to live free from harm, abuse or neglect. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: GP10, 55d |
| Safety | Adequate protection from physical, psychological or social harm. | 听 |
| Self-respect | This principle prioritises growing the practitioner鈥檚 sense of personal and听professional integrity through supporting and enhancing the quality of work听undertaken and being actively engaged in its ethical and therapeutic purpose.听Being attentive to self-care to ensure that one鈥檚 resilience and resourcefulness听are sufficient to work to adequate standards in the counselling professions,听monitoring one鈥檚 well-being in supervision, having a good work-life balance are all听examples of the application of this principle. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E5 |
| Sense of self | An awareness or understanding of oneself and one鈥檚 relationships with other听people and the environment. | 香港六合彩精准资料 2018: E3, 12 |
