Statement of ethics

Effective Date: October 14, 2025

At Fractional Coordinator, Inc., our work is grounded in trust, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to justice. As partners to institutions navigating sensitive, complex, and high-stakes matters, we recognize the profound responsibility inherent in our role. This Statement of Ethics affirms the principles and standards that guide our conduct and decision-making in every engagement, ensuring that our services are delivered with the highest degree of professionalism, accountability, and care.

1. Integrity and Impartiality

We conduct all investigations, assessments, and compliance services with fairness, honesty, and objectivity. Every matter is approached without bias or preconceived judgment, and our findings are grounded solely in facts, evidence, and applicable law. We do not allow personal beliefs, institutional pressures, or external influences to compromise the integrity of our work.

2. Respect for Human Dignity

Every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. We approach each interaction with complainants, respondents, witnesses, and institutional partners with empathy and cultural awareness. Our work is grounded in trauma-informed, survivor-centered practices that honor the humanity of every participant and ensure that each person is met with care throughout the process.

3. Commitment to Equity and Inclusion

Equity is not merely a value we uphold; it is the foundation of our mission. We work intentionally to identify and dismantle systemic barriers that perpetuate discrimination, inequity, and exclusion. Our efforts are guided by civil-rights principles, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, national origin, or any other protected identity, receive fair and equitable treatment.

4. Confidentiality and Privacy

We safeguard sensitive information with the highest level of care. All data, testimony, records, and communications shared with us are treated as confidential and used only for their intended purpose. We comply fully with privacy laws such as FERPA, Title IX, and the ADA, as well as institutional policies and professional standards governing information security and confidentiality.

5. Accountability and Transparency

We hold ourselves accountable to our clients, to the communities they serve, and to the legal and ethical frameworks that guide our work. We communicate clearly, provide accurate information, and set realistic expectations. Transparency is central to our process, and we are open about our methods, limitations, and findings. We welcome thoughtful scrutiny as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.

6. Professional Competence

We maintain the highest standards of professional excellence by staying current with evolving laws, regulatory changes, investigative methodologies, and best practices. Ongoing professional development, peer collaboration, and self-assessment are essential to our commitment to deliver services that meet and exceed industry standards.

7. Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest

We proactively identify and address potential conflicts of interest that could compromise the integrity or objectivity of our work. When such conflicts arise, we disclose them promptly and take all necessary steps, including recusal when appropriate, to preserve the trust placed in us by our clients and their communities.

8. Service to the Public Good

Our work serves a greater purpose: advancing justice, protecting rights, and fostering safe, equitable, and inclusive environments. We measure success not only by outcomes but by the lasting positive impact we help create within institutions and communities.

Our Ethical Commitment

This Statement of Ethics is more than a declaration; it is a pledge. Every member of the Fractional Coordinator, Inc. team is expected to embody these standards in their work, interactions, and decision-making. Together, we honor the trust placed in us and strive to advance a more just and equitable world.
