Question 1: Ethical and Professional Considerations (20 marks)
a) Recommendation to Maria when assessing young children (6 marks)
When assessing minors, Maria must comply with ethical, legal, and procedural
standards. According to the HPCSA Professional Board for Psychology and the
Children’s Act 38 of 2005, informed consent must be obtained from the legal guardian,
and assent from the children should be sought in an age-appropriate manner.
Assessments must use developmentally suitable, validated tools designed for children
to avoid misinterpretation of results (Foxcroft & De Kock, 2023). Confidentiality must be
explained clearly to both parent and child, within the limits of the law. Maria must also
ensure that her competence in child assessments is consistent with her professional
training and scope of practice as a psychometrist. Best practice also requires sensitivity
to cultural and linguistic factors that may influence children’s responses, as well as
ensuring a supportive, non-threatening testing environment.
