Regulation 42

Where the evidence before any disciplinary proceedings under these Regulations is to be taken on oath or affirmation, the officer conducting the disciplinary proceedings must cause the oath or affirmation to be taken as follows: By interpreter: I swear that I will to the best of my ability truly interpret and translate as I shall be required to do touching the matter being investigated. So help me God. By witness: I swear that the evidence which I shall give at this investigation shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God. By child or young person: I promise that the evidence which I shall give at this investigation shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God.

A person making a solemn affirmation is to say to or repeat after the person administering the solemn affirmation the words of the appropriate form of oath, except that for the words “I swear” the person is to substitute the words “I (name in full) do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm” and shall omit the words “So help me God”.

The opening words of the oath or affirmation may be varied to such words, and the oath or affirmation may be administered in such manner, as the person taking the oath or affirmation declares to be binding on the person’s conscience.
