Ethical Leadership

Professional Accountability: A Catalyst for Ethical Practices

Professional accountability can instill a sense of responsibility, promote adherence to quality and standards, foster transparency, facilitate continuous improvement, and become a catalyst for ethical decision-making. 

Professional accountability can support a rights-respecting, equitable, diverse and inclusive environment for your program's community (children, families, staff, partners) by encouraging you and others to:

• Act ethically and adhere to standards and codes of conduct
• Align actions with established ethical norms
• Transparently communicate, give and receive feedback
• Learn from successes and mistakes
• Continuously improve
• Weigh the ethical implications of choices and decisions
