Last week the Board announced its decision to abolish the 2009 Code of Conduct which the Board recognised as profoundly unsafe to members, staff and stakeholders. The Board considered there had to be a better way to achieve its objectives to manage office holder disputes and support positive office holder service to the AASW. A Task Force under the auspices of the Board Governance Committee will be established in the coming weeks to consult with members to formulate policy improvements.
