The essence of good ethical conduct and practise is summarised below.
All volunteers must:

- Develop an appropriate working relationship with participants, based on mutual trust and respect.
- Make sure all activities are appropriate to the age, ability andexperience of those taking part.
- Display consistently high standards of behaviour and appearance.

- Never exert undue influence over performers to obtain personal benefit or reward.
