The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre is committed to having a culture of ethical behaviour. What follows are a series of documents formulating the written foundation for that behaviour.
The documents provided are:
- The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Ethics Policy Framework
- The Residents’ Bill of Rights
- The Core Values of The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre
- The Code of Ethics for The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre

The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre
- The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre
Board of Directors Ethics Resolution Policy
- The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Research Review and
Approval Protocol.
The Ethics Policy Framework consists of two parts; Part 1 – the core policy direction on ethics at the Perley Rideau and Part 2 – the implementation of that core policy direction.
One of the core policy directions contained in the Ethics Policy Framework is that all staff of The Perley Rideau, residents, clients, visitors, volunteers, directors and adjunct advisors will adhere to and be guided by the contents of the Residents’ Bill of Rights, the Core Values, and the Code of Ethics for the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre. It is for this reason that these documents have been provided.
A further policy direction contained in the Ethics Policy Framework is that the Board of Directors will also adhere to and be guided by the Code of Conduct for The Board of Directors of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre.
The Ethics Policy Framework provides an implementation direction that requires there to be a Board of Directors Ethics Resolution Policy.
Taken together these documents form the written foundation for ethical behaviour at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre.
