The codes of practice which steer the ethical framework in the place of work are:

1. Conduct themselves at all times with integrity in the discharge of their duties according to law and this clause overrides all other, so that where there is conflict, this cause shall prevail;

2. Maintain high standards of personal behaviour at all times and to do nothing to bring themselves, The college or the profession into disrepute;

3. Take personal responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of good relations with other professional, public and private bodies;

4. Maintain the intercity of the profession in public and in the media;

5. Take no longer action which might injure or malign the reputation of other professionals;

6. Respect the rights of the individual;

7. Respect the wishes and aspirations of parents, guardians and carers of the pupils and students;

8. Maintain the strict confidentiality of personal information;

9. Ensure, as far as is possible, that individual pupils and students, and groups of pupils and students, achieve their full educational potential;

10. Exercise professional judgement in furthering the resolution of educational problems;

11. Refrain form any acts that may cause teachers and pupils harm;

12. Take no advantage of a position of authority with a pupil or student for personal, political or other purposes;

13. Further the development of professional skills, knowledge and attitudes in themselves and colleagues; and

14. Ensure positive collaboration with those in educational and other institutions, authorities, examination boards and other specialist bodies.

This code of professional practice promotes professional behaviour for members of the college. Central to the code are respect for the individuality of the learner, and recognition of the collaborative nature of the profession of learning and teaching.

These points above are pretty much what I thought of when I said what I thought the codes of practice was, except put into better words and a few more points have been added. They basically say follow the rules of your jobs and everything will run smoothly. They think about every part of the company and its operations and all of the people that are involved, whether they are working for the company or 'customers' (referring to the pupils and parents.)

I have learnt that ethics is a huge subject to learn about it and it is their to help us do things properly. Ethics deals with situations in profession, organisation and society.
