The Code of Ethics: A guide for everyday practice is a practical analysis of Early Childhood Australia's Code of Ethics, which explores the Code's importance to children, families, colleagues, communities, students, employers, the conduct of research and the profession itself.

Authors Lennie Barblett, Catharine Hydon and Anne Kennedy were part of the national working party that developed the latest version of the Code of Ethics. Together they possess a wealth of experience in using the Code in everyday practice.

This essential guide provides:

• insightful case studies demonstrating how each section of the Code of Ethics can be applied to a diverse range of everyday contexts
• accessible examples for educators and carers to use the Code of Ethics in critical thinking and ethical decision making
• practical ethical exploration activities to engage early childhood practitioners in thinking about their capacity to build ethical awareness.

The decisions that early childhood professionals make define their work – The Code of Ethics: A guide for everyday practice helps professionals ensure that these decisions reflect and respond to the complex ethical demands of everyday practice.
