Task 5A. Ethics

Without researching into Ethics these are the aspects of Ethics that i think relate to my Professional Practice.

Data Protection 

Teaching: Safe guarding students information. Any personal or professional recordings must remain confidential when legally required. 

Performing: For example handing out CVs and Headshots at auditions and any notes that have been made about you at auditions, the audition panel have to ensure they don't pass this information on beyond the company. 

From experience i know that Disney Land Paris are only allowed to hold your details for 6months due to the French Law. 

In the UK/USA however i they have our details on their file until they wish to contact/re audition you. 

Discrimination

Teaching: You have to have an equal opportunity when teaching you can not discriminate someone because of their ethnicity or ability or background. Have to treat everyone as equals. 

Performing: The stage: when advertising a job not allowed to write we want 'blonde' people for example. They seems to be allowed to write what the min height is they require, however sometimes the audition breakdown is too vague this is so they avoid being seen as discriminating.  

Reports 

Teaching: Reporting any accidents that may occur. Reporting confidential matters if suspect problems outside of the dance class. Informing the director/ person in charge of the dance school if a problem needs to be discussed. 

Performing: Reporting on mis conduct/ incidents that occur in the work place. 

Health and Safety 

Teaching: Insuring that a safe environment is created for the children. Fire procedures known by the children and staff. Incident book if required. Ice and heat packs available if needed. First Aider on sight. 

Performing: Insuring a safe environment is created for the performers, (on stage and off) Fire procedures known. Ice and heat packs available if needed. First Aider on sight.
