Description
This easy-to-use practical guide is suitable for all educators, managers, leaders and childhood professionals caring for children from birth to 12 years of age. This essential and practical 95-page guide to the Early Childhood Australia (ECA) Code of Ethics clearly explains what ‘code of ethics’ means in everyday practice. It comes with Practice Tool templates (over 25 pages) that you can photocopy, as well as additional resources, and also provides suggestions on how to put ethics into action. You will discover case studies, scenarios and provocations to help guide you with everyday ethical implementation.
The Ethics in Action guide has three main sections, each containing resources for all levels—from emerging through to experienced educators. This includes a section that will stretch knowledge and understanding of ethics for current practitioners.
Developed from the early learning and care sector’s desire to commit and enact ethics in daily practice, this easy-to-use publication will support you in bringing ethics into action!
The Ethics in Action guide will help you to:
- easily draw the line between ethical and legal issues
- know the individual steps to making ethical decisions
- provide your team with the right tools to test their decisions/assumptions and develop skills

‘This resource will provide practical support for professionals wanting to embed the Code of Ethics into their work with children, families and colleagues’ – Dr Anne Kennedy.
