At Break the Wheel, we're dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards. We believe that transparency, accountability and adherence to these standards are important in providing effective, youth-centric coaching programmes that you can trust. Please be assured that we place the highest importance on the safety and needs of the youth we work with.

Code of Ethics
We take reference from the International Coaching Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics and apply it across our coaching programmes, not just for 1-on-1 coaching.
(1) Responsibility to clients
We take the time to explain to youth (and their parents, for those below 18) what our coaching programmes cover and don't cover, and how we maintain confidentiality. We make ourselves available via WhatsApp 7 days a week.
(2) Responsibility to practice and performance
We're committed to resolving any ethical concerns and possible conflicts of interest promptly, fairly, and transparently. We're glad to note that we've had ZERO such issues to date.
(3) Responsibility to professionalism
We set clear boundaries, such as requiring that all 1-on-1 coaching sessions be held strictly in public/safe places. We understand that it's important to not just be professional, but be perceived as professional.
(4) Responsibility to society
In Singapore’s diverse society, we believe that it's important to be inclusive, and to treat everyone equitably regardless of background. We strive to be one of the driving forces for positive change in people’s lives and society.
Other ethical standards
The ICF isn't the only organisation with ethical standards for coaching. A summary of other standards can be found here. They're similar, with 5 main themes, which we agree and comply with:
Do not harm others and oneself.
Act in ways that promote the welfare of other people.
Practise within our scope of competence.
Respect the interests of the client.
Respect the law of the countries in which we operate.
MOE / MSF registration
All our key volunteers such as coaches who interact closely with youth are registered with the Ministry of Education (MOE).
For youths referred by social service agencies, key volunteers will also be registered with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF).
