Professional Charter for Coaching, Mentoring and Supervision of Coaches, Mentors and Supervisors

INITIATIVE TO SELF-REGULATE COACHING, MENTORING AND THE SUPERVISION OF COACHES, MENTORS AND SUPERVISORS

 

Brussels, 15th July 2022.  In a joint-initiative aimed at self-regulation, EMCC Global together with seven other professional organisations have co-signed the “Professional Charter for Coaching, Mentoring, and Supervision of Coaches, Mentors and Supervisors”.

The Professional Charter reflects the mission of these professional bodies to promote and ensure good practice in coaching, mentoring and supervision.  It establishes a benchmark for ethics and professional conduct for these professions and is the basis for the development of self-regulation.

It is a public document, drafted as per European law and registered on the publicly accessible European Union database, co-managed by the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee. This lists self-regulation and co-regulation initiatives in Europe whose scope reaches beyond Europe. (see the document here).

 

The initiative is also designed to inform coaching, mentoring and supervision clients, and to promote public confidence in these as processes for professional and personal development, which serve society as a whole.

The Charter provides guidelines for practitioners on:

 

It provides guidance for professional bodies and covers requirements for:

  • Ensuring commitment to ethical standards by their members
