To fulfill our public protection mandate, CKO creates Practice Standards and Guidelines to ensure that kinesiologists provide safe and ethical treatment, care and services to their patients/clients. Kinesiologists must understand and follow these Practice Standards and Guidelines.
At this time of year, members of the College are able to complete the College’s eLearning modules, including the eLearning module – Prevention of Sexual Abuse. Those who have previously done so may also take this opportunity to review the eLearning module, or other relevant resources on the College’s website.
To help encourage reflection on this important subject, the eighth survey of this series is focused on the Practice Standard – Professional Boundaries and the Practice Guideline – Professional Boundaries and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse. This information is important for kinesiologists, given their wide range of practice environments and roles, and the nature of the professional relationship between kinesiologists and their patients/clients.
Please take a moment to complete this short and anonymous survey. Your responses will help CKO understand kinesiologists’ needs and provide additional resources to ensure kinesiologists’ practice remains safe, ethical and of high quality. This survey may also be an opportunity for you to reflect on your knowledge and understanding of the Practice Standard and Practice Guideline and identify individual learning goals and opportunities to enhance patient/client and public safety, health and well-being.
The survey results will be shared in the October issue of the newsletter.
