Does the Code only cover my behaviour at work?
Some teachers believe that what they do in their personal lives has nothing to do with their standing or status as a teacher and a member of the teaching profession. This is not true, but where the line is drawn between a teacher’s personal and professional conduct is hard to define. In Section 2 of the Code of Conduct, there are some general guidelines with respect to personal conduct. The most important thing for teachers to remember is that as far as students in their own school are concerned they are a teacher 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
