Part 1: Duties to protect freedom of speech Section 3: Duties of students’ unions Section A6: Code of practice
This section imposes new duties on a students’ union to which section A5 applies.
	The students’ union must maintain a code of practice with a view to facilitating the discharge of the duties in section A5. The content of the code of practice must include a statement of the students’ union’s values relating to freedom of speech and an explanation of how those values uphold freedom of speech. It must also set out the procedures to be followed when organising meetings and activities, the conduct required in relation to such meetings and activities, and the criteria for specified decisions (including whether there are exceptional circumstances for the purposes of section A5(5)).
	The students’ union must take reasonably practicable steps, including disciplinary measures, to secure compliance with the code of practice.
	The students’ union must, at least once a year, bring the provisions of section A5 and the code of practice to the attention of all its members who are students of the provider.
