All professional members must agree to abide by the professional standards set by the BCAK for conduct and professional practice. As an applicant, it is important that you comprehend the standards and ask questions when appropriate, as you will be expected to apply the standards and guidelines related to professional conduct, including ensuring you remain competent in the Essential Competencies of Practice, and otherwise act in accordance with the professional practice standards and code of ethics.
Members who breach the BCAK standards can be disciplined, suspended or expelled by the BCAK in accordance with the society’s bylaws. The severity of a breach will dictate the extent to which the BCAK takes action to protect the reputation of its members.
