No code? Our Ethical Framework for Educational Leadership A proposal for embedding the framework in professional development programmes A proposal for the establishment of a committee for ethical educational leadership
Ethical Framework for Educational Leadership The draft framework is based on the Seven Principles for Public Life. 1. Selflessness: Leaders should act solely in the interest of children and young people. 2. Integrity Leaders must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.
3. Objectivity Leaders must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias. Accountability Leaders are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this. 4.
5. Openness Leaders should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing. 6. Honesty Leaders should be truthful.
7. Leadership School and college leaders should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs. This needs expanding in the context of our dual duty of public service to the young modelling the behaviour of a good society,
Six Virtues Six Virtues Schools and colleges serve children and young people and help them grow into fulfilled and valued citizens. In our role as leaders we should demonstrate the Standards for Public Life and demonstrate leadership through the following virtues. When acting as role models for the young, how we behave is as important as what we do.
