The APA and the NASP support a range of activities designed to educate and sensitize practitioners to the parameters of appropriate professional conduct. Both include ethics coursework as a required component in their standards for graduate preparation, and each organization disseminates information on professional conduct on their websites, through publications, and by supporting presentations and symposia. In addition, continued professional training in the area of ethics is required for renewal of the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) credential, and many states require continuing education credits in ethics for renewal of licensure (see Rossen et al., 2019).

The APA and the NASP also each support a standing ethics committee. Ethics committees are made up of volunteer members of the professional association. Ethics committees respond to informal inquiries about ethical issues, investigate complaints about possible ethics code violations by association members, and attempt to educate and/or impose sanctions on violators.
