  2. Promoting those principles, values, and standards through education, peer modelling, and consultation,

  3. Developing and implementing methods to help psychologists to monitor their ethical behaviour,

  4. Adjudicating complaints of unethical behaviours and,

  5. Taking corrective action when such action is warranted.
