In keeping with our responsibilities to the communities in which we live and work, school psychologists know and respect federal and state law and school policies (NASP Guiding Principle IV.2; see Relationship between Ethics and Law later in this chapter). Also consistent with the broad principle of responsibility to schools, families, communities, the profession, and society, school psychologists monitor their own conduct to ensure that it conforms to high ethical standards, and they monitor the conduct of their professional colleagues. Self- and peer monitoring for ethical compliance safeguards the welfare of others and fosters trust in psychology (W. B. Johnson et al., 2012). If concerns about unethical conduct by another psychologist cannot be resolved informally through a collegial problem-solving process, practitioners take further action appropriate to the situation, such as notifying the practitioner’s work-site supervisor of their concerns or filing a complaint with a professional ethics committee (NASP Standard IV.3.2; also APA 1.04). (See the section titled Unethical Conduct later in this chapter.)
