Principles of Good Practice of the Independent Educational Consultants Association

• The consultant's primary obligation is to represent each client accurately based upon
  a professional evaluation of the circumstances and requirements. Of course, the
  consulting relationship implies no guarantee of specific placement.

• The consultant shall neither solicit nor accept compensation from any school, college
  or institution for placement of client.

• The consultant shall respect the integrity of the consulting relationship and of all
  relevant information.

• The consultant shall present to the client the most appropriate choices, representing
  each one fairly, and shall make clear the client's responsibilities in dealing with any
  schools, colleges and institutions.

• The consultant shall not discriminate against client on the basis of sex, race, color,
  religion, nationality or ethnic origin.
