Code of Ethics
for Diamond Logos® Teachers Purpose of the Code of Ethics This Code of Ethics lays down the ethical principles essential to maintain in teaching and practice of the Diamond Logos® Teachings. Ethical principles are based on well-founded standards, virtues, obligations and benefits for the work, the teachers and students of Diamond Logos® Teachings. They are designed to give a frame in which cooperation among teachers and the relationship between teacher and students can happen in a harmonious and ethical way. To safeguard these principles, a Committee of Ethics has been established by the Diamond Logos® Association. Functioning of the Committee of Ethics The committee for ethics meets regularly, to review and discuss any matters concerning the ethics of the Diamond Logos® Association, their teachers and students. If ethical conflicts arise between teachers or teachers and students that cannot be resolved by mutual consent, clarification and advice can be asked from the Committee of Ethics of the Diamond Logos® Academy. The committee will be available to mediate ethical conflicts with the guidance of Faisal Muqaddam.
