The Code of Ethics for E3 Community Services Inc. establishes the fundamental principles and standards that guide the organization’s professional conduct and decision-making. Effective since October 3, 2019, this comprehensive framework outlines ethical responsibilities toward persons receiving services, colleagues, the organization itself, and society at large. The code emphasizes respecting the dignity and uniqueness of all individuals, maintaining confidentiality, providing services with integrity and competence, and promoting inclusion. It serves as the cornerstone for creating a safe, caring environment where the needs and rights of those being served remain the primary focus of all organizational activities.
The people we support are citizens with all the rights, dignity and prerogatives of Citizens of Canada. The laws that apply to civil conduct of all citizens apply equally to staff involvement in individual’s lives, homes, places of employment, etc.
Along with the most basic of human rights, people have the right to refuse service from the Agency and/or re-evaluate the role the Agency plays in their lives. Conversely, people do not have a legal entitlement to service and can be refused service with the Agency.
In addition to supporting the “Rights” conferred upon all people in Canada through The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Statutes and Laws of the Government of Ontario, the Agency undertakes to support individuals in making personal choices respecting all aspects of daily living.
Rights are generally conferred upon people by law or declarations of a level of authority. Choices on the other hand are decisions made by an individual. However, many choices in life can be as important or even more important than Rights declared by government.
Although far from inclusive, the following are perhaps the most important and common examples of the personal needs and wishes which we support people to achieve:
Persons served have the right to routinely expect all information to be held in strict confidence and shared with third party sources only on a need to know basis, in the interest of the safety and well-being of the person served and with the person or their designate’s signed consent.
Rights are outlined in the following legislation and can be viewed by clicking on the links:
