The Code has been updated to reflect new registration categories.
About the Code
The Education Workforce Council’s Code of Professional Conduct and Practice (‘the Code’) sets out the standards expected of those registered with us and is intended to support and guide their behaviours and judgements as professionals working in education and training roles in Wales. The latest version of the Code came into force on 1 September 2022 (updated in November 2023 to reflect the addition of new registation categories).
Registrants commit to upholding the five key principles of the Code:
- Personal and Professional Responsibility
- Professional Integrity
- Collaborative Working
- Professional Knowledge and Understanding
- Professional Learning

There is also a series of good practice guides, which support registrants to comply with the Code. They provide more advice for registrants in their day to day practice.
Our guide for parents provides information and advice to parents on the services we provide and helps them to play a more active role in their child’s education.
