To complement the Code, we publish a number of good practice guides intended to support registrants in a number of key areas.

Each guide aims to raise the awareness of all registrants across all sectors to help guide day to day professional judgments and decisions:

Good Practice Guides

Tackling Racism

All learners in Wales should feel confident that they will be safe, supported and treated with fairness and respect when they attend their place of learning. This guide, endorsed by BAMEed Network Wales and Show Racism the Red Card, provides guidance on ways to ensure your behaviours and practice are inclusive and create an environment where learners, young people and colleagues feel welcome regardless of their race or ethnicity. It also supports all registrants in identifying and addressing issues of racism. Download print friendly version | Read web version

Positive working relationships

Even though you spend the majority of your time, care and attention on fostering positive relationships with learners, it’s just as important to build good working relationships with colleagues. Download the guide

Professional boundaries with learners

The way you relate to learners should involve a careful balance of professional engagement and professional distance. But the defined boundaries can unknowingly be crossed. How do you maintain this balance? Download the guide  

Using social media responsibly

Approached with sufficient thought and awareness, social media can offer you numerous benefits as an education practitioner. However, there are potentially very serious consequences with its casual use. How do you avoid them? Download the guide

Testing, assessment, examinations and invigilation

The responsibility on practitioners to conduct themselves honestly when measuring learners’ progress is significant, and demands a high level of personal and professional integrity. How do you manage that responsibility? Download the guide

Appropriate touch, handling and restraint

The appropriate touching, handling and restraint of learners is sometimes necessary and proportionate in the work place. But sometimes things can go wrong. How do you make the best decision for the situation? Download the guide
