5A

At the moment I am working front of house in a West End theatre as a supervisor so as every work place, I think there will be many ethical rules and regulations in place   To guide us through the working day at the theatre from plagiarism to staff hygiene .

I know that when every employe starts they are given a handbook with the general rules and regulations and what is expected from them.

Some ethics that I think apply are

PLAGIARISM

As we work in a theatre obviously we have shows in which are all copyrighted including the set. Also the design of the theatre is copyrighted so I would presume that no photography is allowed to be taken by staff or patrons. Also posting any information about the show/theatre on social networking sites won't be allowed

GENERAL CODE OF CONDUCT

I think this covers everything about your performance whilst in work including timekeeping , make sure that all staff are in work at the correct time and leave at the correct time. Uniform, we must be in the correct uniform durning working hours and make sure we are presented well. These are just two points however I think under the general code of conduct it will cover points like disciplinary's, what to do in certain circumstances such as sickness or holidays and how to carry out various aspects of the job.

 PROTECTING DATA

This is not something that I deal with in work however I know when you start working at the theatre the managers need personal details such as a copy of your passport, NI number and current address. I presume all of this information will be kept so that only the managers can access it. 

CPD 

I have recently been asked to attend a manual handling course this is something that I need to do to make sure I am carrying out my job properly and I know throughout the year there are various courses that we need to take part in.
