Task 5b) Codes of Practice that Steer The Ethical Framework

Having had a vague but undetailed idea on the regulations and ethical practice within my professional practice I was able to have a look at the official sources to help me further. Understandably these documents are confidential so I cannot publish them however here I have made a brainstorm showing my initial thoughts and those furthered after looking at these documents:

Safe working conditions: Without this me and my colleagues couldn't carry out our work. In my practice this ranges from safe studio space to the correct footwear being given to us. We are lucky as the theatre provides us with all of the above as I know of some companies who don't provide footwear for their dancers.
Management link: It would management's responsibility to provide the above. For example, when putting on a show, making certain the stage floor and set are safe for the employees. Also making sure the budget allows for correct footwear for all employees.

Dancer's well-being: Another close link to safety and also an area I might like to explore in my inquiry. As a code of practice the theatre provides the necessary care needed to look after their employees. We have an onsite physio who is great when we are injured along with a gym, sauna and available massages to keep our bodies in good condition and as pain free as possible. We are extremely lucky to have all of these things and as an employee it's great to have such measures taken for our well-being as this can be a rare occurrence elsewhere.
Management link: Again it would be a manager's responsibility to provide this. Also being aware of the importance of it and constantly looking to improve.

Promotion: Also a possible exploring are for my inquiry and a very important aspect of running a company/putting on a production. Any form of promotion the company publishes is copyrighted and can only be used with permission. Likewise us as employees are a form of promotion for our company so going back to manners and respect along with good communication skills, not only to each other but to the public, is vital. Also for example, if we are to take part in performances other than our theatre's permission must be granted.
Management link: For management of a company often a good collaboration with a promotions team is likely to be necessary to promote the correct image of company/production- having the same vision and image to promote and sell to the outside as well as possible.
