Code of Conduct Evidence Based EFT®

Evidence Based EFT® (EBEFT) is a private company that aims to provide the highest quality EFT training and information based on validated research while promoting best practices for trauma awareness and high ethical and safety standards through premium accreditation of the practitioners we train and recommend on our website.

As a pillar in the EFT community, we hold ourselves, our trainers, our mentors and our accredited practitioners to high standards of excellence and integrity in our lives and within EBEFT™. Given our commitment to exemplifying the delivery of an inclusive, trustworthy, and evidence-based healing modality, we agree to the following:

1.    We make it clear that we are providing premium training and that Premium Accreditation* status is further conferred upon those recommended by their mentors and trainers and therefore not automatically guaranteed by Evidence Based EFT. 

*As a duty of care to the general public, EBEFT reserves the right to withhold accreditation status in the unlikely event that an individual’s mentors assess the trainee to have demonstrated behaviour that is either directly intolerant, judgemental, or abusive towards any client or that leads them to believe there is a risk of this happening.

 Accredited Practitioners hold themselves to high standards by keeping agreements, operating with honour and integrity in business dealings, and being a model of what it is to live as a professional committed to client safety and healing.

2. Accredited Practitioners agree to be become aware of and be mindful of the laws and regulations in their place of practice with regards to the use of words like "healing" and "therapy" and "cure" and to refrain from using language reserved for licensed health practitioners if they are not themselves licensed. It is the position of Evidence Based EFT that Clinical EFT is the therapeutic use of a stress reduction technique and not a "therapy" as such.

 3.    Accredited Practitioners might choose to engage in relationships with each other that involve financial transactions or investments. Accredited Practitioners who choose to engage with each other in this way understand that EBEFT as a private company does not promote, endorse or warrant the quality of these transactions and therefore, Accredited Practitioners who choose to engage with each other where there may be a financial impact, choose to be solely responsible for the outcome.

4.    It is the agreement of all EBEFT Accredited Practitioners that they give permission for the contact information they provide to the EBEFT online directory to be publicly visible. They further acknowledge that the contact information of other Accredited Practitoners not be used for mass-mailing purposes or for group solicitations.

5.    Accredited Practitioners agree to maintain strict confidentiality with regards to their clients’ experiences and revelations in any and all forms, from private conversations to published articles, unless given express permission in writing prior.

6.    Accredited Practitioners agree to be mindful of social media posts. Members endeavour to avoid public posts that 

·  are in opposition to scientifically validated information

·  defame, abuse or model hate speech in any way

·  defame or abuse EBEFT, its trainers, mentors and administrators

7. Accredited Practitioners agree to uphold the values taught in the ethics training within Premium Accreditation, with respect to their conduct both within their client practitioner relationships and relationships with other practitioners, mentors and trainers.

8. Accredited Practitioners agree to maintain practitioners insurance.

9. Accredited Practitioners agree to complete the required 6 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and to provide evidence of this on an annual basis to continue using the Premium Accreditation badge, being listed on the EBEFT site and calling themselves a Premium Accredited EBEFT Practitioner in any and all forms.
