The Code of Ethics for Youth Work in Aotearoa (COE) defines fundamental values and standards for youth workers in Aotearoa. Based off the principles of Mana Taiohi, COE does not have a 'Treaty Clause' but instead comprises 24 clauses committed to biculturalism and use practical examples critical to effective, ethical youth work practice.

The framework for these ethics trainings flows over two days, so you are invited to stay (noho) overnight to immerse yourself in the experience fully. We understand this may feel slightly intimidating, but we promise you will be well prepared to step onto the Marae. The skills and knowledge you will gain are invaluable to your personal and professional development as a youth worker. Remember, it's not about what you can't do; it's about growing in solid youth development practices for our rangatahi and celebrating the unique and necessary approach that defines youth work.
