Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk Code of Conduct

• Make themselves aware of situations that may present risks and pro-actively develop strategies to create safeguards to protect the interests, safety and wellbeing of children and adults at risk. [...] Be diligent in reporting any children or adults at risk who you perceive to be at risk or harm and never trivialise or exaggerate child abuse issues. [...] • Ensure children and adults at risk are adequately clothed and the images present children in a dignified and respectful manner. [...] • Engage in sexual activity with children (persons under the age of 18) or adults at risk, regardless of the age of majority or age of consent locally. [...] • Make physical contact (touch) with children or adults at risk unless it is in response to the needs of the person and with their permission.
