Code of Ethics Noho October 2021

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO ALERT LEVEL RESTRICTIONS. 

The Code of Ethics for Youth Work in Aotearoa defines key values and standards for youth workers in Aotearoa. The 3rd Edition of the Code of Ethics is developed around Mana Taiohi and is comprised of 24 clauses.

It's not about what you can't do. It's about growing in solid youth development practice for our rangatahi and celebrating the unique and necessary approach that defines youth work.

The Code of Ethics for Youth Work in Aotearoa does not have a 'Treaty clause', instead a commitment to biculturalism is woven throughout the document. In order to have our Ethics Training better reflect this, we hold our training at a marae. Don't be shy! We know many of our Youth Workers haven't had the opportunity to stay at a marae before, but there will be a lot of value for your personal and professional development by weaving this in with Ethics training.

Also, this training is a prerequisite for membership with Rerenga Awa | Canterbury Youth Workers Collective and as part of our commitment to the bicultural journey, the overnight stay aspect to the noho is required of all participants.

Payment Policy:

These trainings are highly subsidised by the Department of Internal Affairs and without this sponsorship, each participant would need to pay $200 approx. Refunds are available through this ticketing system 7 days prior to training or in the case of illness, otherwise, refunds would only be considered under significant circumstances. Any registrant who does not attend and does not communicate with CYWC Staff will need to be invoiced for the full cost of the training.

Alert levels:

We are planning this event under the assumption that we will be at alert level one. If we are at alert level two the training will be a two-day event with no overnight stay and timings will be advised. If we are at alert level three or more the event will be cancelled and refunds will be processed.
