Referral Sources Guidelines FamilyLightsm: Successor to Bridge to Understanding |

Referral sources need to be as free from conflict of interest as possible. This includes Educational Consultants such as our consultant. When conflict of interest is unavoidable it needs to be fully disclosed. The Principles of Good Practice of the IECA are a good start toward standards of avoiding conflict of interest, but they are not adequate. One example of the inadequacy is the fact that IECA members observing these Principles are not obligated to report a consulting contract for many thousands of dollars that expired yesterday. It is still appropriate to question the conflict of interest status of IECA consultants who are following their own rules. You are welcome to question us on that. We welcome those questions. To be expanded. Feedback is invited. We will publish selected feedback. Email FamilyLightResponse@yahoo.com Disclaimer: No program review, no matter how positive, is a blanket endorsement. No criticism is a blanket condemnation. When we express our level of confidence in a school or program, that is our subjective opinion with which others might reasonably disagree. When we assert something as fact, we have done our best to be accurate, but we cannot guarantee that all of our information is accurate and up to date. When we address compliance with our guidelines, you need to remember that these are only OUR guidelines -- not guidelines from an official source. We have also set the bar very high, and do not expect any school or program to be in total compliance. It is not appropriate to draw a conclusion of impropriety (or even failure to live up to conventional wisdom) from our lack of confidence in a school or program or from less than perfect conformity to our guidelines. Some will say we expect too much. Readers are responsible for verifying accuracy of information supplied here prior to acting upon it. We are not responsible for inaccuracies. Last updated 10-07-08 |
