Professional standards
Standards give professional membership its meaning.
IFR members uphold professional standards appropriate to their membership category. CPD is a requirement for Full Members and Tutor Members.
Conditions of membership
A framework for responsible reflexology practice.
The IFR Code of Ethics and Practice sets expectations intended to protect the public, maintain professional standards and uphold confidence in IFR and its members.
The complete policy document remains the authoritative source. This page provides an accessible overview, not a substitute for reading the Code.
Competence
Practise within training, skill and professional competence, and do not treat beyond those limits.
Ethical conduct
Act in a manner befitting a professional therapist and follow the IFR Code and applicable law.
Confidentiality
Keep appropriate, current client records and protect personal and health information.
Insurance
Maintain suitable professional indemnity and public-liability cover where required for practice.
Clear information
Explain treatment fees, boundaries and relevant practice information before treatment.
Continued learning
Full Members and Tutor Members must maintain and develop their knowledge through relevant CPD and keep appropriate records.
Support and resolution
Professional concerns are heard and handled with care.
IFR provides a clear and fair route for members and the public to ask questions, raise a concern and seek an appropriate resolution. The Code of Ethics and Practice provides a consistent framework for considering each matter carefully and constructively.
