The ATA Code of
Ethics
|
-
I will serve the
best interests of my clients, conducting my professional activities
without causing or intending to cause harm.
-
I will treat all my
clients with equal respect, regardless of their origin, race,
religion, gender, age, or sexual preference.
-
I will represent honestly my Tarot qualifications, including educational credentials, levels of certification, and experience.
-
I will keep
confidential the names of clients and all information shared or
discussed during readings, unless otherwise requested by the client
or required by a court of law.
-
I will recommend
clients consult a licensed professional for advice of a legal,
financial, medical, or psychological nature that I am not qualified
to provide. If trained in one of these areas, I will clearly
differentiate between the tarot reading and any professional advice
additionally provided.
-
I will respect my
clients' right to refuse or terminate their reading at any time,
regardless of prior consent.
-
I recognize that
all ATA members have the same rights and obligations, and I will
always respect and honor my co-members.
The ATA considers this code a description of the
minimal ethical standards to which members should adhere. The ATA
encourages members, especially those reading professionally, to create
their own code of ethics expressing their personal beliefs and
practices. The tenets stated above should be included or incorporated
by a statement that the reader subscribes to the ATA Code of Ethics.
ATA reserves the right to take action, including
revocation of membership, if the Code of Ethics is violated, subject
to grievance handling procedures. Board members, Directors, Officers,
staff, and volunteers in a position of authority are additionally
required to be aware of and uphold the By-Laws of the Association,
including ethical provisions therein. The Code of Ethics and By-Laws
are subject to periodic review and updating by the Board of Directors
as needed.
