My take on Professional ethics

As a Dance teacher working within a professional community there are many things i have to think about.

Proposed Code of Conduct:

  • Safety: Making sure risk assessments are carried out before classes.
  • Timing: Important to stress that being punctual is crucial for both teacher and students
  • Equal opportunities: All have any role within an organisation are treated equally regardless of disability.
  • CRB: All those in the presence or care of children need to have a CRB.
  • Studio cleanliness: No eating within the studio at any time
  • Respect for all: There is a level of respect for all students and teachers. Respect for the company or establishment you work for.
  • Correct attire: Correct clothing to be worn to get the best out of a class.
  • Personal finances, tax returns, studio hire
  • Commitment: Sporadic attendance not tolerated, both students and teachers should be committed to taking part in classes, performances and overall personal and group development.
  • Responsibility: As a teacher it is your responsibility to ensure students adhere to the company ethos
