Student Code of Conduct

• Students must observe and follow guidance provided in all other Global Therapy Training policies and procedures relating to the Global Therapy Training and placements, these can be found in appendices within the Global Therapy Training handbooks and accessed during initial induction. This includes observing the placement policy and ensuring professional and ethical practice when on placement (please see placement policy – appendix 7).

• All students are expected to be considerate of their fellow learners, guest speakers/visitors, and staff/tutors.

• Students are to be mindful of other participants and differing learning needs and styles and communication modes and recognise how their individual behaviour can impact other students and staff.

• Students are expected to use all forms of spoken, written and digital communication, this would include digital media and communicating professionally and mindfully when participating within online platforms. We offer extra support if needed with this.

• Work with other students, when asked to do so, and appreciate the contribution other students make.
