Child Safe Code of Conduct

Your FDC should have a code of conduct to remove uncertainty about what behaviour is OK with children at your service.

What is a code of conduct?

  • A code of conduct is a code of behaviour that outlines your FDC’s values and provides clear expectations for:
  • personal and professional boundaries
  • ethical behaviour
  • appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and relationships for educators, staff, parents and families

 

How can it be used?

  • As part of educator induction training
  • As part of your introduction to families to your service
  • Refer to it in recruitment of educators and families
  • As a regular item at educator meetings

 

What makes codes of conduct work?

Codes of conduct have been shown to be most effective when they are:

  • short
  • clear
  • promoted
  • enforced; and
  • regularly reviewed.

 

How do you develop one for your service?

  • Use the following as a guide
  • Involve everyone in deciding what should be in it. Remember if it is short and unambiguous it is more likely to be followed.
