Task 5B: Findings of Ethical Codes Within My Workplace 

http://www.holyfamily.waltham.sch.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HFCS-Equalities-Act-statement.pdf

The school’s ‘Equalities Act’ document (accessed from the school website) focuses greatly on the school’s ability to promote opportunity within the school. There is a far greater emphasis on gender bias in exam results and the number of students who move into higher education. However, it does make reference to my comments made in relation to students from all backgrounds being given opportunities, giving particular reference to the school mission statement.

The website also contains a notice of Data Protection privacy notice. This informs parents of what information may be shared with local authorities or local services. It also moves to reassure parents that student data will not be provided to anybody from outside agencies unless permission is granted or they are legally obliged to:

We will not give information about you to anyone outside the school without your consent unless the law and our rules allow us to.

In relation to my inquiry this has not given me complete clarification as to any existing ethical policies regarding research within my school besides anticipated data protection policies. The school’s commitment to CPD is evident with regular training sessions held on a weekly basis that all members of staff are welcome to attend.
