Which of the following is NOT included in the CPS Code of Ethics?

  1. No d_____________ relationships

  2. No support while under influence

  3. No sexual/intimate relationships with clients supported

  4. Mandatory daily reporting of personal issues

The correct answer is: Mandatory daily reporting of personal issues

The correct answer highlights an element not found within the CPS Code of Ethics, which is the requirement for mandatory daily reporting of personal issues. The CPS Code of Ethics is designed to maintain professional boundaries and promote the integrity of the relationship between a peer specialist and their clients. The emphasis is placed on fostering a supportive environment that upholds ethical standards, such as prohibiting dual relationships that can complicate the professional dynamic, not providing support while under the influence of substances, and forbidding any sexual or intimate relationships with clients to ensure that relationships remain professional and focused on the clients' well-being. The reference to mandatory daily reporting does not align with the foundational principles of these ethical guidelines, as it imposes an unrealistic requirement that could infringe on personal privacy and the autonomy of the peer specialist.
