Task 5A Ethics....

Here are my initial thoughts on ethics in my professional practise in regards to working in the theatre with a large cast. Most I feel are common sense and part of being professional In the work place others are set by the theatre.

• Racism and discrimination with fellow employees
• Bullying at the workplace be it mental or physical
• Age discrimination
• Professional boundaries - no teacher/student relationships
• No filming of shows/rehearsals without signing a deceleration of permission
• Mutual respect - respecting others views, opinions and religions
• Copyright laws - regarding sheet music, scores etc
• Safety - do not do something you know will put yourself or others in danger
• Stealing
• Background checks when teaching young children 
• Sexual harassment 
• Time keeping
• Honouring your contract and terms and conditions
• Responsibilities - being personally responsible for your own costumes and knowing choreography and spacing etc
