Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct sets out appropriate standards of professional conduct for ASBA’s member associations and their individual members. They must adhere to this Code by observing the highest standards of professional conduct and ethical behaviour in all activities.

In doing so, members will enhance the reputation of school managers, administrators and bursars and public confidence in independent schools’ management and administration.

Member Associations and their members:

  • are required to exercise complete probity and diligence in carrying out their duties and responsibilities
  • shall at all times safeguard the interests of their school employer
  • shall not knowingly be party to any illegal or unethical activity
  • shall not enter into an agreement or undertake any activity which may be in conflict with the interest of their school or which would prejudice the performance of their professional duties
  • shall not use confidential information gained in the performance of their duties for any personal gain or in a manner which would be detrimental to their schools
  • shall endeavour to ensure currency of their knowledge, skills and technical competencies necessary for the proper conduct of their duties and responsibilities
  • shall refrain from conduct or action which might detract from the reputation and standing of their schools or the Association
  • shall abide by the Memorandum and Articles of Association and those of member associations and uphold the objectives contained therein
