The Chartered College of Teaching is developing a Code of Professional Conduct, and we would like your help. Our regulations state that members of The Chartered College of Teaching shall abide by the Code of Professional Conduct, as approved by the Council. 

Complaints to the College about members are rare and we do not anticipate this happening often, but if a complaint is made, our procedures provide for the President to decide whether a Disciplinary Committee will convene to determine how the matter is to be resolved. 

In 2021 we published an ‘interim statement’ on the handling of complaints against members, with a commitment to develop a full Code of Professional Conduct and disciplinary process in consultation with the membership. The Ethics Committee have now developed a draft Code or Professional Conduct, subsequently approved by Council for consultation. 

I would be grateful if you could complete this short consultation survey (link here) on the draft Code of Professional Conduct by no later than 17 February 2023. Our aim is to then refine the Code in response to your feedback, before submitting to Council for approval in March and adoption from 1 April 2023. You can find a copy of the draft code here.
