Can cadre accept goods from a trainee?

Cadre are not permitted to accept goods from trainees to maintain professionalism and integrity within the training environment. Accepting items could create perceptions of favoritism or unethical relationships, undermining the objectivity required in a training setting. This rule ensures that all trainees are treated fairly and equitably, which is vital to fostering a conducive learning atmosphere. Furthermore, the prohibition against accepting goods protects both the trainees and the cadre, minimizing the risk of conflicts of interest or impropriety.

The other options suggest circumstances under which cadre might accept goods, whether it be food items, gifts, or only on special occasions. Allowing any form of gift or goods could still lead to misunderstandings and potential issues with favoritism or unfair treatment, hence the strict stance against accepting goods from trainees.
