+## Coding Standards
+
+Code in this repository is held to a high standard, but don't let that put you off from contributing; it's all about following these simple rules:
+
+-   Code submitted should be formatted using rustfmt.
+-   All code submitted should be covered by tests unless a good reason for not testing them is provided. This is assessed by our code coverage score.
+
+These good practices are enforced by the following procedures:
+
+-   All PRs will be reviewed by a maintainer. Here, suggestions will be made on how to improve the code until it is agreed that it is of the required standard.
+-   Bors will be used to merge all PRs. This ensures that the `master` branch is always green.
+-   Dependabot will ensure dependencies are kept up to date.
