Ethical Commitments

By checking each box, you affirm that your organization commits to the following standards. All boxes must be checked to complete the attestation.

1. Client Outcomes First. We commit to making client outcomes our primary organizational objective. Treatment decisions will be made by qualified clinicians. Caseloads will be determined by clinical need, not revenue targets.

2. Adequate Supervision. We commit to maintaining supervision structures that allow meaningful clinical oversight. Our supervision ratio will not exceed 1:15 and we will protect supervision time from displacement by billable hours.

3. Fair Compensation. We commit to compensating staff fairly for their work, providing benefits, and ensuring that pay structures do not incentivize billing over quality.

4. Professional Development. We commit to investing in ongoing training and career development for all clinical staff beyond minimum CE requirements.

5. Ownership Transparency. We commit to publicly disclosing our ownership structure, including any private equity involvement, and to notifying stakeholders of any ownership changes within 30 days.

6. Billing Integrity. We commit to billing only for services actually rendered. We will maintain a compliance program, train staff on billing ethics, and cooperate with any regulatory inquiries.

7. Staff Wellbeing. We commit to monitoring and addressing staff burnout, maintaining manageable workloads, conducting exit interviews, and actively working to reduce turnover.

8. Safe Reporting. We commit to maintaining confidential channels for ethical concerns and enforcing a non-retaliation policy. No staff member will be penalized for making a good-faith ethics report.

9. Data-Driven Improvement. We commit to collecting and using data on client outcomes, staff satisfaction, and operational performance to drive continuous improvement.

10. Community Accountability. We commit to maintaining an accurate ESBAP profile, responding to reviews within 30 days, and participating transparently in the ESBAP ethics ecosystem. We will not attempt to manipulate our profile or suppress legitimate feedback.

Declaration

I understand that:

This attestation will be displayed publicly on our ESBAP organization profile and in the Ethics Attestation Directory.
Our organization's adherence to these commitments will be measured through employee and client feedback via the ESBAP Ethics Scorecard.
ESBAP may suspend or revoke the Ethics Committed badge if our scorecard falls below the minimum threshold or if specific violations are confirmed.
I agree not to take any negative action against individuals who report violations of these ethical standards through ESBAP or any other channel.
I understand that there are consequences that result from full transparency, and I accept responsibility to immediately address concerns that impact the well-being of consumers, livelihood of staff, and reputation of the field of behavior analysis.
