Training Code of Conduct

1. Introduction

This code of conduct is for individuals who have booked to attend any on of the DHF‘s Safety training courses whether a diploma or Level 2 Award.

2. Aim

The code details the general requirements that are expected of a diploma or Level 2 Award holder and gives guidelines regarding the use of such.

3. Requirements and general information

It is a requirement that all attendees must:

• Act with integrity so as to uphold the standing and reputation of the DHF.
• Advise the DHF if they are charged with a criminal or civil offence.
• Keep themselves informed of current professional practices and developments appropriate to the level and type of their responsibilities.
• Carry out work with reasonable skills and care.
• Advise the DHF in writing when moving to a new employer.
• Be aware that the Diploma is valid for 2 years and the Level 2 Award is valid for 3 years.
• Keep their Diploma or Level 2 Award updated. At the end of the validation period, a new Diploma or Level 2 Award will be issued by the DHF upon completion of a short online refresher course or similar. 

4. Mis-use of logo or Diploma/Level 2 Award

Attending a DHF training course does not entitle the holder of the Diploma or Award to use the DHF logo.  The Diploma or Award is issued for training only and is not proof of DHF membership.  It remains the property of DHF and will be withdrawn and the qualification revoked, if the owner is found to be in breach of this Code of Conduct, or using it in a manner that is not in line with DHF best practice

Companies who are not members of DHF who send their representatives onto a DHF training course must not allude to membership. 

5. Declaration of attendee

By ticking the box I agree that I have read and understood my obligation to adhering to this Code of Conduct and also advise DHF of any circumstantces that would possibly prevent me from using the Diploma or Award gained.
