On 17 May 2012 PACA received recommendations from the General Teaching Council of Scotland (GTCS) on a new draft Code of Conduct for Teachers elaborated by the Institute for Development of Education (IDE). The recommendations, together with a commentary on the extent to which the new draft reflects the recommendations of PACA, were forwarded to the working group in charge of drafting the Code. On 25-26 June PACA will organise meetings between an expert from the GTCS and the working group to discuss the draft and PACA recommendations and assist with finalisation of the draft.
