The Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) has shared materials designed to support educational leaders to engage with the revised Victorian Teaching Profession’s Code of Conduct, including a presentation and guiding notes to facilitate a workshop to support all staff to be familiar with the Code and its expectations.

To ensure that all staff are across the expectations, VIT recommends that services run a one-hour workshop using the support pack which includes:

The revised Victorian Teaching Profession’s Code of Conduct
The Victorian Teaching Profession’s Code of Ethics
A PowerPoint presentation and guiding notes to facilitate the workshop
Case studies to explore in the workshop (services may wish to focus only on those of most relevance to your education setting).

The support pack contains information and case studies which may be relevant/appropriate to all settings and audiences, and as such, services are encouraged to select those which best fit their setting and circumstances.

A number of hypothetical case study videos have also been provided to stimulate discussion about what is (and is not) considered to be appropriate professional and personal conduct for teachers, as well as appropriate strategies to prevent inappropriate conduct.

There are also a number of podcasts available which feature discussions with a VIT lawyer about topics such as professional boundaries with learners, personal conduct and more.

For further information, or responses to questions related to the Code, please contact VIT via email to codereview@vit.vic.edu.au

New Geccko course simplifies payments, fees and CCS obligations for ECEC services

A new online learning course launched on the Geccko platform is helping early childhood education and care (ECEC) providers better understand how to manage payments, gap fees and Child Care Subsidy (CCS) entitlements in line with Family Assistance Law.

What is ARACY and how can The Nest support early childhood services

The Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) has shaped the national conversation on child and youth wellbeing for more than two decades. Its flagship Nest Wellbeing Framework is increasingly used by organisations to align strategy, measure outcomes and strengthen collaboration.

Ratios versus environments: Why ECEC quality reform must treat staffing and space as one system

Educator-to-child ratios are one of the most visible signals of quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC). They set expectations for supervision, safety and responsiveness. They also shape what educators can realistically deliver across a long day: sustained interactions, intentional teaching, inclusion, documentation and partnerships with families.

Incident prevention and management: Protecting children through proactive safety practices

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services are entrusted with one of the most important responsibilities, ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of children. Effective incident prevention and management practices are vital to meeting this responsibility, and are mandated under both federal legislation and the National Quality Framework (NQF).

Embedding inclusive practices: practical tools to support children with disability in ECEC settings

Creating inclusive early learning environments is a foundational element of quality education and care. For early childhood education and care (ECEC) and outside school hours care (OSHC) providers, ensuring the inclusion of children with disability is both a professional obligation and a legislative requirement.
