The Institute of Noetic Sciences has done a research project to develop a Code of Ethics, and it is very good.
It even includes legal matters, which has been one of my biggest concerns about such Codes in the past (although it does not warn practitioners they could potentially be legally liable for the consequences of their advice EVEN IF THEY DO NOT CHARGE, nor clients/sitters that they are also subject to the law).
I am going to have to start changing my monthly reminders to include a reference to their proposal, which I will do via this post.
At the moment, they link to a preview page (which may disappear after peer review and publishing) at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1550830725000503?via%3Dihub, which in turn links to a site where the anonymised data is available: https://figshare.com/collections/Datasets_for_Ethical_Standards_for_Mediumship_Paper/7468504/1
The second set includes the proposed Code of Ethics, the main headings of which are (NB: Codes of Ethics are meant to be public, but this is still a developmental one, and possibly one subject to IP/copyright, so I am going to limit how much I post until I am confident it is OK to post it all. If you want to see the full Code, download the linked document while it is still available):
1. Motivation and Purpose for Safe Healing:
2. Respect the Autonomy and Rights of the Client/Sitter:
3. Confidentiality and Privacy:
4. Permission and Informed Consent:
5. Scope of Practice and Referrals:
6. Competence, Training, and Continuous Development:
7. Honest, Clear, and Sensitive Communications:
8. Safe Space:
9. Professional and Energetic Boundaries:
10. Professional Conduct, Integrity, and Accountability:
11. Legal and Professional Ethics:

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).#PsychicABetterWorld and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM
