Multiple Role Relationships: Practitioners must be aware of and manage situations where there is a professional relationship and another relationship with the same person or a closely associated person.
Confidentiality in Professional Work: Practitioners are obligated to protect confidential information acquired through their professional work, keeping it confidential across all mediums, with decisions regarding confidentiality made in line with legal and organizational requirements.
