When working with vulnerable populations, steering clear of conflicts of interest is crucial. To handle these effectively:

- Disclose potential conflicts to all parties involved, ensuring transparency from the outset.

- Establish strict personal and organizational boundaries to prevent any overlap of interests.

- Consult with an ethics committee or advisor when in doubt to maintain integrity and trustworthiness.

How do you ensure fairness and maintain trust when potential conflicts arise?

The key is radical transparency: disclose potential conflicts immediately, set uncompromising boundaries, and consult with an ethics committee when in doubt. The goal isn't just to avoid impropriety but to actively cultivate trust and fairness, which are the cornerstones of any meaningful intervention. This approach ensures that your actions are beyond reproach and that the trust placed in you is fully warranted.

Quickly, openly, and with honesty. Itâ€™s vital to integrity in practice, but also allows for trust of helping professions when those seeking our support can rely on our own transparency and vulnerability.
