To approve a new Code of Conduct policy – schools so that the policy can be adopted by governing bodies in schools (maintained and voluntary-controlled).  However, a recommendation will be made to voluntary aided and academy schools to adopt the same policy for consistency across Herefordshire schools.

The policy has been developed to meet an audit recommendation that there should be a Code of Conduct policy that is specific to schools.  The policy clarifies expectations regarding the required standards of behaviour for all staff working within schools.
