If we are to go the route of a code of practice, it must be simple and practical. It should be a layman's law and understandable to people. It should be widely disseminated as nobody wants to be caught out because they do not know about something. The idea of a code of practice is that it should be generally known and agreed by the sector involved. There should be a layman's understanding of good practice rather than something written in legalese, which can be fairly impenetrable.
