The Canadian Child Care Federation (adapted from the BC Code of Ethics) code of ethics (CCCF, n.d.) is one that many ECEs in Alberta are familiar with. While ELCC in Canada has no oversight or accountability (requiredments to follow a code of ethics), these can be used as a guide in professional practice and ethical decision making. Programs can use these as a starting point to creating their own ethical codes of practice and conduct. ECEs can also use them as they develop their own ethical code, or ethics of care philosophy.
