CARING ACADEMY

Caring Academy

Sexual misconduct and boundary-crossing behaviour are not tolerated at the Academy. Such actions carry severe personal and professional consequences.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff on campus remains our absolute priority, and we take this responsibility seriously. The Academy is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning and working environment for all students and staff.

Academy students can find the deontological code on the intranet.
