Code of Conduct

Here is the code of conduct that applies to you and all learners on JGA’s programmes.

By following this code, we can ensure a safe, inclusive and productive environment that benefits everyone.

Breaking the code of conduct may result in withdrawal from the apprenticeship. Employers may also decide not to continue employing learners who have been withdrawn from the programme, so it’s really important to stick to the rules.
