Whose responsibility is it to report violations of the Code of Ethics?

The responsibility to report violations of the Code of Ethics falls on all educators. This inclusivity emphasizes the collective duty of educators to uphold ethical standards within the educational environment. When every educator is aware of the importance of reporting unethical behavior, it fosters a culture of accountability and integrity among all staff members.

By having all educators involved in this responsibility, it enhances the safeguarding of student welfare and ensures that any breaches of ethical conduct are addressed promptly. This broad approach helps to create a professional community where ethical standards are maintained and where educators are encouraged to support one another in recognizing and addressing issues of misconduct.
