Interpretation of the National Code Can a provider interpret the National Code within the context of their own practices?
• There is very little room for standards in the National Code to be interpreted differently by different providers within the context of their own practices. Providers may choose to have a higher attendance rate minimum; they may chose to have a policy using mentors with the students before their intervention strategy is used. The National Code sets out the minimum requirements but providers are free to set a higher standard. • Standard 11 is the only standard in the National Code where there are sector specific differences.
