In regards to unethical behavior of colleagues, the National Association of Social Workers states:

a. "When rehabilitation counselors have reason to believe that another rehabilitation counselor is violating or hasviolated an ethical standard, they attempt first to resolve the issue informally with the other rehabilitationcounselor if feasible, provided such action does not violate confidentiality rights that may be involved."
b. "Human service professionals respond appropriately to unethical behavior of colleagues. Usually this meansinitially talking directly with the colleague and, if no resolution is forthcoming, reporting the colleague'sbehavior to supervisory oradministrative staff and/or to the professional organization(s) to which the colleague belongs."
c. "Informal peer monitoring is one way to assume responsibility for watching out for each other."
d. "Social workers should take adequate measures to discourage, prevent, expose, and correct the unethicalconduct of colleagues."
