The
term code of
ethics and code
of conduct have
been used interchangeably by Teachers and organizations. However the difference
between the terms ethics and conduct and as a result how codes are written.
Ethics may refer to truth, justice, honesty, right and fairness, with more
specific definition of ethics is stated as a principle of right and wrong
conduct and decision (Moss, 2006).
Banks
(2003) explain that
a code of
conduct is usually
a written document
produced by a professional
association, occupational regulatory
body or other
professional boy with
the stated aim of guiding
the practitioners who are members, protecting service users and
safeguarding the reputation of the profession
