It is to make sure that the self-regulating professional body has a code of conduct for its members; that there is a compensation fund; that there is insurance; that there is adequate training to make sure folks are receiving the training necessary to become competent and meet the expectations of our clients; that there is a mechanism in place with the body to take really strong action against its members who do not meet the standards expected of them; and finally, to empower the college to also go after the unauthorized consultants by going to court and seeking injunctions against them.
