Are the ethical guidelines, best coaching practice and accreditation program in any way linked to the competency framework?
The competency framework began development at the same time as the accreditation scheme and after the best practice and ethical guidelines were produced. It is inconceivable that these other processes have not influenced the formation of certain competencies in one way or the other. However the source data for the framework follows the process described above. In this way the competency framework ideally needs to align itself with accreditation, ethical practice and best practice, however it may often be the case in a dynamic culture which the AC has that the competency project might in some instances drive those other processes.
