CRC Code of Ethics
CRCC has adopted the 2023 Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors. The CRC Code of Ethics is updated every five years.
The standards of this mandatory code are intended to assure the public that the rehabilitation counseling profession accepts its responsibility to provide caring service to individuals with disabilities.
All CRCs/CCRCs are bound to act in accordance with the Code.
What is the purpose of the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors?
CRCs are committed to facilitating the personal, economic, and social independence of individuals with disabilities. CRCs/CCRCs recognize diversity and embrace a culturally relevant and responsive approach to support the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of individuals with disabilities within their social and cultural contexts, while respecting their personal values and beliefs when working with clients. They look to professional values as an important way of living out an ethical commitment.
Above all, the Code ensures that all CRCs are committed to respecting human rights and dignity of all people. These standards are enforced by the CRCC Ethics Committee.
