Companion to ensure good behaviour (8)

I believe the answer is:

chaperon

(Other definitions for chaperon that I've seen before include "One accompanies to supervise" , "Guardian" , "Duenna; look after" , "Attendant" , "One accompanies and looks after another person or group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
