BC Association of Specialized Victim Assistance and Counselling Programs

(Note: SVAP is now CBVAP.) The intent of the Specialized Victim Assistance Program Code of Ethics is to provide a comprehensive set of ethical principles to help guide Specialized Victim Assistance workers in their relationships with clients, colleagues, governing agencies, the criminal justice system and the public. As well as providing a means for self-appraisal, the Code provides a written framework for demonstrating accountability to clients and the wider public. This project was funded by the Ministry of Attorney General.
