13) Jane Atkey has started a forum with regard to a consultant’s code of practice. Her suggested code is: 1) I will respect my clients' right to confidentiality and will not disclose their personal information to third parties without their prior consent.
2) I will be courteous and considerate and act in a professional manner.
There are also a couple of notes:
1) It is acceptable to discuss readings in a general way without passing on personal information.
2) As a Mystic Consultant you are under no obligation to perform reading for a client if for any reason you don't want to.

Star Rose had some concerns about the safety of the consultants and suggested that a list should be kept of people who persistently abuse the service.

It was agreed by 5 to 2 with 1 abstention to keep a list and to warn persistent offenders who could be banned if they continued to behave unacceptably. StarRose will draw up a warning letter and post it on the forum. Please register with the website http://mystic.terapad.com and add ideas and comments. Action: StarRose and all members.
