This document provides a pro forma employee discipline policy for independent schools. It assumes that the school endorses principles of Fair Labour Practice, and the application of appropriate disciplinary measures to address conduct or performance deviations. 

The policy encourages schools to apply rules of conduct in a positive and corrective manner, in order to promote and maintain a productive learning and working environment.

The policy indicates the broad standards of behaviour and performance that are expected of all employees, encouraging a responsible and self-disciplined approach, rather than a punitive one based on fear. Should any employee not meet the expected norms of conduct, the policy provides for school management to initiate appropriate corrective action. 

Corrective action may or may not include the application of formal disciplinary steps being applied to prevent further occurrences of unacceptable conduct, and to restore the working relationship.
