Guidelines published by CRPO are intended to clarify CRPO’s Professional Practice Standards, providing additional information that will help registrants consider or respond to common situations that arise in practice in a manner that accords with the Standards. Information provided in a guideline is to be considered along with other relevant sources of information, such as the Code of Ethics, applicable Standards, regulations, and laws.
Registrants must rely on their knowledge, skill, and judgment to determine when it is appropriate to apply a particular guideline, being mindful that ultimately, registrants are responsible for their own actions.
The College is interested in hearing directly from interested parties on what materials would be most beneficial or should be considered a priority for development. While we can not guarantee submissions will result in published guidelines, feedback assists us in our decision making when determining the need for supportive resources. Feedback will be reviewed alongside conduct and practice advice data.
