That
the committee welcomes the document overall, and is of the view that it is
readable and very useful in terms of explaining the code. We also believe that the use of case studies
and speech bubbles are a good way of highlighting parts of the document and
making it relevant to people.
·
It would be useful if the
examples of Code of Conduct breaches listed in the document also noted what the
outcome had been, in order to give a clearer picture.
·
It would be useful if the document
included examples of how the public interest test has worked in practice i.e.
what types of complaints have passed the threshold, and what types of
complaints have failed.

The document should be
gender-neutral.
