With reference to the dance teaching work that I do, here are some of the rules and official code of conduct. These are set out by the company that I work for as a representative and are included in the contract.
The representative must:
· Ensure compliance with all relevant legal legislation
· Comply with timetable or target changes provided or imposed by the company
· Both parties must keep each other advised of any special requirements that are applicable to the service
· agree and comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
· The Representative will provide services with all due care, diligence and professional ability. Any incorrect or defective work can result in the Representatives work being terminated.
· Keep all company information confidential and not share projects, layouts or ideas with any competitor companies
· Comply with the data protection act 1998
· Coach on behalf of the company and under the brand name
· Not contact the school or parents unless under the company name and for the purpose of the company
· Not approach other representatives about work with any competitor company
· Wear appropriate clothing with no other company brand name
· provide an invoice by the end of every half term in order to receive payment
· Abide to the schools and/or venues health and safety procedures and rules.
· Work with full knowledge and acceptance of risks involved including injury to yourself or participants
· Report to the company at the earliest opportunity with any perceived dangers, violence or other misconduct of whatever type.
· Arrive at each session in plenty of time to start at the scheduled time and terminate the session at the scheduled time
After looking at these official rules set out by the company I can see that many are the same as the ones that I previously talked about when thinking about my general work ethos and code of conduct in this situation. However, the first ones that came to mind for me before I checked the official rules were more moral issues. I was more concerned with providing care to the children if they are upset and how you deal with behavioural issues in class. I was also thinking about my responsibilities from more of a superficial level such as wearing the right clothes and foot wear and presenting myself well. Obviously these were still covered in the official rules but there was more emphasis on things like not sharing information with competitors and being responsible for risks and injury.
Seeing as I want to make a transition from being a dancer/dance teacher to working in television (preferably television presenting) I thought I should consider what a presenters code of conduct may be. There is obviously nothing official that I can look at the moment with regards to rules for a television presenter a I haven’t been lucky enough to see a contract yet! However these are some of my thoughts.
A presenter must:
· Always arrive promptly to any filming or show
· Comply with the rules of the production company they are working for
· Be responsible for their own words and actions i.e. not say anything offensive to the public on screen/not swearing
· Comply with the production company on matters of clothes, make up, hair etc
· Provide a service to the public and be available for any extras that the production company have outlined
· Comply with any script/outline provided
· Be responsible for the smooth running of the show
· Comply with any direction (prepared or last minute) from the director, producer etc
