PATHFINDER CLUB Code Of Conduct For All Staff
In taking on this office you are accepting responsibility for the physical and moral safety of each Pathfinder under your care. This Code of Conduct has been prepared for all Pathfinder staff who supervise activities in the club and for visiting specialists. The purpose of this code is to make staff aware of what is expected of them as responsible leaders.
• To act at all times in accordance with Pathfinder principles. To show individual responsibility by words and actions, and to set an example to all club members.
• To ensure that Pathfinders have fun and enjoyment in
a Christian context and that activities do not put their health
and safety at risk.
• Respect for human dignity and the right to personal
space and privacy are to be highly valued.
• They are not to use the Pathfinder Club to promote
beliefs, behaviors or practices which are not compatible with Pathfinder or Seventh-day Adventist Church principles and ideals.
• They are to ensure that leadership is shared between
both genders so that appropriate supervision can be provided for all.
• Avoid at all times the supervision of Pathfinders on a
one to one basis in an isolated situation.
• Avoid unwanted and/or inappropriate physical contact
with Pathfinders.
• Accept that physical discipline is NEVER appropriate.
• Realize that bullying, physical and verbal abuse, neglect, or any other abuse in any form is unacceptable by any member at any time.
• Any accusation of abuse must be referred to the church
board and the person involved will stand down while any investigation takes place.
I promise to uphold this Code of Conduct.
