Submit an ACRP Code of Ethics Violation

ACRP Code of Ethics Violation Submission Form

Please use the following form to submit complaints pertaining to a perceived violation of the ACRP Code of Ethics. As per the ACRP Discipline and Complaints policy, the following information is needed for the ACRP Professional Ethics Committee to review a complaint.

  • If you choose “yes,” you are not required to provide your name below.
  • You must provide your email address even if you are submitting anonymously, so that ACRP may contact you.
  • Be sure to include factual background and the time period during which the ethics violation occurred.
  • Drop files here or
    Max. file size: 50 MB, Max. files: 10.

    Information exchanged during the complaint investigation and any hearing process will be considered confidential and will be addressed in a discreet and professional manner by the members of the Professional Ethics Committee, ACRP staff, and any consultants. However, absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed as circumstances may dictate that some level of disclosure is necessary, as determined in the reasonable discretion of ACRP staff and/or the Professional Ethics Committee or applicable law.

    Further, while individuals may request anonymity when submitting a complaint and while ACRP and the Professional Ethics Committee (PEC) will make their best efforts to honor such a request, there may be situations when an individual respondent may discern the identity of the complainant through the submissions. As such, ACRP cannot guarantee anonymity.

    Complaints will be received and reviewed by ACRP staff to determine if the complaint should be forwarded to the Professional Ethics Committee. Each complaint will be evaluated based on the following:

    1. Whether the subject of the complaint is or was an ACRP member, applicant for membership, Certificant or an applicant for certification at the time of occurrence.
    2. Whether sufficient information concerning the allegation is provided which would warrant the complaint to be forwarded to the Professional Ethics Committee.

    NOTE: Willfully filing a frivolous or malicious complaint is considered a form of professional misconduct. Individuals who do so are subject to disciplinary action under this Policy.

    For information on the timeline of the review process, please refer to the ACRP Discipline and Complaints Policy.
