Code of Conduct

What you must do

Members should make every endeavour to ensure that they conduct their business affairs in a professional manner and avoid behaviour that could bring the UK Web Design Association (UKWDA) or its membership into disrepute. Members should conduct their business affairs on sound, ethical principles and make every endeavour to trade fairly and honestly with employees, clients and suppliers.

Members may not under any circumstances purport to represent, speak on behalf of or otherwise act as a representative of the UKWDA.

Members should strive to achieve their professional goals by continuing educational and training, seminars, conventions, etc., and striving for excellence through professional improvement.

Understand that being a UKWDA member is a privilege and not abiding by this Code of Conduct or the Membership Rules is cause for termination or suspension of membership and all rights to use logos and UKWDA's name cease.

All UKWDA members' websites must be family safe websites. No exceptions will be made to this rule under any circumstances.

What we will do

UKWDA will provide a forum for web professionals to interact and raise the level of excellence of their fields.

UKWDA will defend the interests of its members when dealing with the Government or other agencies, both in the UK and worldwide.

Ensure the privacy of members by not selling or distributing their names, emails, or addresses.

As the Internet is always in a state of change, this Code of Ethics also will periodically change to meet the needs of our members and our industry. This Code of Ethics was developed by the Board of Directors in December 2000.
