Safeguarding children and adults at risk of harm - 9. Codes of conduct for employees and councillors

9.1  The council’s codes of conduct, The Constitution, outlines the standards and principles of behaviour that demonstrate probity in our roles. This includes identifying the need for appropriate boundaries in supporting children or adults at risk of harm and ensuring information obtained as a result of our duties is viewed and shared only professionally and as appropriate.

9.2  This enables us to:

  • develop a positive and open working culture.
  • easily identify poor practice.
  • carry out timely investigations.
  • take disciplinary action where necessary.
