INHOPE Code of Practice

INHOPE members are keen to ensure that the operation of a hotline is available, transparent and accountable. The Code of Practice is binding on full members of INHOPE and will provide guidance for provisional members which need to comply with the Code of Practice before becoming full members.

The Code of Practice will benefit all members of INHOPE and will represent a clear statement of expectations about how INHOPE Hotlines should operate individually and in relation to each other. The Code of Practice will establish and maintain common minimum standards for the good operation of an Internet hotline and the role and responsibilities of members of INHOPE. This Code of Practice shall publicly establish and protect the integrity of INHOPE and build confidence among external stakeholders.
