Chaperone code of conduct

Policy overview

The code is not exhaustive in defining standards of conduct.

All chaperones working with children and young people have a crucial role to play in safeguarding their wellbeing. They have a unique opportunity to interact with children and young people both affirming and inspiring ways. This code has been produced to help chaperones establish safe and responsive environments which:

  • safeguard young people
  • reduce the risk of adults being unjustly accused of improper or unprofessional conduct
