Professional Behaviour
All CDPs can follow The South African Professional Conduct Guidelines in Psychology, which states that a psychologist/ counsellor, in interacting with a student, and whom they have had authority over in the last 24 months, shall not:
- Engage in any verbal or physical behaviour toward an individual which is sexual in nature, demeaning, or harassing, or
- Engage in other physical intimacies with an individual/client or student.
Mr. Jones’ conduct was highly unprofessional as he was harassing students, was violent toward them, made an effort to be demeaning and insulting towards students.
