Revised Code of Conduct

We have launched a revised Code of Professional Conduct and Practice. It applies to everyone registered with the EWC, and reflects the evolving expectations of practitioners and the importance of safeguarding learners and young people, whilst maintaining public trust, and upholding high standards. Read the revised Code, along with any supporting resources.

    Welcome to the new academic year

    A warm welcome to everyone joining, or returning to, the education workforce this September. We hope you had a great summer. Find out what services we've got for you as registrants.

    Use your Welsh with us

    You can get in touch with us through any of our many channels, in Welsh or English. Whichever language you choose it won’t affect the response you get, in any way. This video has more information about using your Welsh with us.
