My written contract refers to a code of conduct, but I do not have a copy. What is it?

As it appears this particular code of conduct is referred to in your written statement of particulars of terms and conditions you should either have received a copy of this document or have been advised how you can access it.

Employers are increasingly developing codes of conduct to deal with specific employment issues, particularly those of a sensitive nature, such as harassment and bullying, which can be difficult to deal with, unless standards of behaviour have been made clear from the outset.
