=Ensure that all contact with the educational and wider community is professional and ethical. =

As a Pastoral Tutor I have had a number of interviews with students and parents, in particular with new students and their parents. The school provides a [|Staff Code of Professional and Pastoral Practice P-12].These guidelines are always adhered to so that I maintain the highest professional standards.

In all my direct communications with parents whether by email, telephone or in person I try to show empathy and understanding while maintaining professionalism.

My email interactions, cited in this accreditation portfolio, show this.

I believe also that my active involvement with STANSW [as cited earlier] reflects the level of professionalism that I exhibit.

I have always complied with (if not exceeded) the school’s noted Expectations of Staff. Again much of the documentation submitted in this accreditation process indicates that my actions are well above staff expectations.
