Mentor and coach code of ethics
The mentor/coach accreditation offered by mentorDay requires the reading and signing of the mentorDay code of ethics and deontology. Each new mentor of mentorDay has to read and sign to become a member of the community the code of ethics approved by the leading associations around the world. In the mentoring contract to be signed between the mentor and the entrepreneur and mentorDay, an express mention is made that the mentor has read and agrees to comply with the code of ethics and deontology.
There are two models:
- Coincident Code of Ethics: ICF.
- EMCC Global Code of Ethics (see+).
At mentorDay we use the sum of both.
The aim of the code of ethics is twofold:
- Protect mentors from unjustified complaints about their professional conduct.
- Promote accountability of mentors for ethical misconduct in order to protect the reputation of the mentoring profession.
Make things very clear before we start, to generate the right expectations, the commitments to be fulfilled and how we are going to finish.
CONFIDENTIALITY:
It is clear but it has its limits... when a person wants to harm himself, the law can demand sharing, if we know that there is something illegal.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
Always act in the best interest of the entrepreneur and if this is lost....
- E.g.: you start the mentoring relationship, and you as a mentor make websites and you see that the entrepreneur needs it, but you can't take advantage of the trust to sell your services... you can accept the new role but you have to talk about it!
Statutory duties and obligations, mentorDay has liability insurance in case someone files a lawsuit.

Welcome to the code, I pledge to abide by it to the best of my knowledge and ability.
Very interesting and important code of ethics. Courageous and honest to boot. I think it tries to safeguard the integrity of both parties, the mentor and the entrepreneur.
