Separated Parenting Services

Code of Conduct Policies

- Children who can understand what is being said around them, we ask that they not remain in meetings as we believe that content at meetings are not acceptable for children to hear. There is a separate room that children can watch DVD’s or play.

- All members and visitors to SPS must ensure that appropriate language is used in and around the building as SPS has an image to protect. This includes stating the correct name of the other parent when discussing your circumstances. Please refer to the other parent either as “The other parent” or by their true Christian name.

- No member or associates of members shall intimidate or threaten another member.

- All members shall be provided a copy of the Constitution which outlines the duties of a member.

-What is said in meetings is strictly confidential, however may be referred to in discussions without names being used by committee members.

- Members contact details will not be passed on to other members beyond the committee members without first confirming that it is ok with the individual member in question

- SPS offers a support group to all; therefore please understand that it is not an opportunity to use the service as a dating agency

- If you can move forward in your own situation without resorting to using the Courts there are many alternate avenues to use like independent Counseling, Mediation or Arbitration.
