CNHC: Code of Conduct, Ethics and Performance

In an evolving landscape where complementary therapies are becoming more widely accepted and integrated into mainstream healthcare, it’s essential for practitioners to uphold a high standard of professionalism and ethical responsibility. As a Federation dedicated to the growth and credibility of Reiki, we are proud to spotlight the CNHC Code of Conduct, Ethics, and Performance in this issue. This document not only serves as a guiding framework for safe and ethical practice, but it also reflects our ongoing commitment to support our members and ensure that Reiki maintains its respected standing within the wellness community. Let’s explore why adhering to these standards is key to advancing the practice of Reiki.

The CNHC Code of Conduct, Ethics and Performance includes a wealth of guidance and useful information, which is designed to be helpful both for CNHC registrants and the members of the public who use their services.

The CNHC is the voluntary regulator for a wide range of complementary therapies. They were established with the support of the government to set up and maintain a register of practitioners who meet national standards, are of good character and are fit to practise.

The Code aims to be a day-to-day resource for all Registrants, no matter the context in which they practise, so the document is inevitably lengthy. In some sections there may be details that apply to only some Registrants at any one time.

The Code is a fundamental document that sets the standards for professional practice within the field of complementary therapies, including Reiki. The UK Reiki Federation proudly supports this code, as it aligns with our mission to uphold professionalism, integrity, and ethical responsibility within the Reiki community.

The CNHC code is designed to ensure that practitioners provide safe, effective, and ethical care to their clients. It outlines clear expectations, such as maintaining client confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, and acting within the boundaries of one’s competence. By adhering to these guidelines, Reiki practitioners can not only protect their clients’ welfare but also enhance the credibility of Reiki as a complementary therapy.

For the UK Reiki Federation, supporting this document means endorsing the highest standards of care in our practice. The code helps to create trust between practitioners and the public, and ensures that we all strive for excellence. It also provides a framework for accountability, ensuring that if issues arise, there are clear pathways for addressing them responsibly.

By following the CNHC Code of Conduct, Ethics, and Performance, our members demonstrate a commitment to professionalism and a shared goal of elevating Reiki practice in the healthcare landscape. This aligns with our values and fosters a sense of trust within the wider health and wellness community.
