Ohio Admin. Code 4757-5-10 - Standards of ethical practice and professional conduct: reporting unethical actions
(A)
Mandatory reporting: All licensees, registrants, supervisors and trainees have
a responsibility to report any alleged violations of this act or rules adopted
under it to the counselor, social worker, and marriage and family therapist
board. Also, if a licensee or registrant has knowledge or reason to suspect
that a licensed colleague or registrant, or other licensee or registrant, who
is not a client, is acting in an unethical way or is incompetent or impaired
they shall report that practitioner to the board. All mandatory reporting shall
be in writing and bear the name and license number or registration of the
reporter. When client confidentiality limits the licensee's ability to provide
details the licensee is still mandated to report the allegations against
another licensee without breaching client confidentiality.
