Safe Codes of Conduct

Developing and Implementing a Safeguarding-Focused Code of Conduct.

This course is essential for all organisations in the children's workforce, as it helps to safeguard both staff (paid, voluntary and contracted) and children. It helps to protect staff from practices open to misinterpretation and highlights how children can be empowered to identify and report behaviours that breach the organisation's expectations, creating a safer environment for all. It is vital for organisations looking to integrate child safeguarding and protection into their Code of Conduct or those developing and reviewing a Safeguarding Code of Conduct.

Youth about to shoot a hoop, symbolising the importance of developing and implementing a safeguarding-focused Code of Conduct to create a safe and accountable environment.

A well-designed Code of Conduct is more than a set of rules. It is practical and empowering guidance that fosters a culture of safety and accountability for both children and staff across physical and online environments. When implemented effectively, it enhances safe practices rather than feelings of restrictive or impractical rules.

This training supports organisations in creating a clear, effective, and best-practice-aligned Code of Conduct. It also explores implementation and monitoring processes, as well as how to navigate policy breaches, ensuring flexibility in rare circumstances while maintaining robust safeguarding standards.

By the end of this class, learners will be able to:

Understand the key principles of a well-designed Code of Conduct and its role in safeguarding both staff and children across physical and online environments.
Recall how to create or review a Code of Conduct that aligns with best practices in child safeguarding and protection.
Describe effective implementation and monitoring processes to ensure the Code of Conduct is consistently followed and adapted when needed.
Navigate policy breaches by understanding how to balance flexibility in rare circumstances with maintaining strong safeguarding standards.
Empower staff and children to recognise and report behaviours that breach the organisation’s safeguarding expectations, promoting a culture of accountability and safety.
