Read the first 6 CCA Ethical Standards & Professional Conduct flashcards as text

  1. The CCA's responsibility under the Army's Sharp (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention) program is primarily to:

    Answer: Serve as a resource and referral point, directing Soldiers to SARC or the chaplain

    The CCA serves as an accessible resource who can direct Soldiers to the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), chaplain, or other support services.

  2. When must a chaplain assistant break confidentiality, even if information was shared in a ministry context?

    Answer: When there is an imminent threat of harm to the Soldier or others

    An imminent threat to life — either the Soldier's own or another person's — overrides confidentiality to prevent serious harm.

  3. A CCA overhears a fellow NCO making derogatory remarks about a Soldier's religion. The appropriate response is to:

    Answer: Address the behavior directly or report it as a potential EO violation

    Derogatory remarks targeting religious beliefs constitute a potential EO violation and must be addressed directly or reported through the proper EO chain.

  4. The Army's Code of Ethics for chaplaincy support personnel emphasizes that the CCA must maintain what quality above all others?

    Answer: Professional integrity and trustworthiness

    Integrity and trustworthiness are foundational because Soldiers must feel safe to seek pastoral care without fear that their disclosures will be misused.

  5. What document outlines the professional ethics standards specific to Army chaplains and their assistants?

    Answer: FM 1-05

    FM 1-05 (Religious Support) provides the doctrinal framework for Army chaplaincy, including ethical standards governing chaplains and chaplain assistants.

  6. A chaplain assistant is asked by a commander to report what a Soldier said during a private meeting with the chaplain. The CCA should:

    Answer: Decline to share the information and inform the chaplain of the request

    Chaplain-penitent privilege protects communications made to the chaplain, and the CCA must protect that privilege by declining and immediately notifying the chaplain.
