Code of Practice 2021 Addresses Key Issues in Tertiary Education, Including Pastoral Care, Mental Health and Wellbeing
Week 1: Understanding the Code of Practice
Welcome! As an advisor, my first tip is to understand the Code of Practice. It is crucial to know what is expected of your institution to maintain a safe, supportive, and welcoming learning environment for all students.
Start by reading the entire Code of Practice document, focusing on the section relevant to your role and responsibilities. Then, review your institution’s policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they align with the Code.
Remember to keep the Code of Practice up-to-date and accessible to all staff members. It’s also a good idea to attend training sessions and workshops to stay informed about any changes that may occur.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your institution is compliant with the Code of Practice, which will help foster a positive learning experience for all students.
