A Time for Play is committed to the identification and resolution of potential conflicts of interest in the planning, promotion, delivery, and evaluation of continuing education programs. Consistent with concepts outlined in the APT’s Approved Provider Standards and other CE Credentialing bodies, potential conflicts of interest occur when an individual assumes a professional role in the planning, promotion, delivery, or evaluation of continuing education where personal, professional, legal, financial, or other interests could reasonably be expected to impair their objectivity, competence, or effectiveness.

A Time for Play requires that professionals participating in the planning of continuing education identify any potential conflict of interest they may have in the review, selection, development, delivery, or evaluation of that program and disclose the conflict or recuse themselves from any decision-making concerning that program. In the event of a potential conflict of interest, that particular individual will recuse themselves from the planning process.

A Time for Play is responsible for identifying, declaring, and resolving any potential conflict of interest they or an instructor may have when offering any specific program of continuing education on behalf of A TIme for Play. In the event of a potential conflict of interest, the Executive Director inform the Curriculum Committee and determine with the committee how best to resolve the conflict of interest.
