Task 5A

I want to consider the codes of practice/regulations which apply in my present job, which is as a member of a touring company (Image Musical Theatre).

The work comprises travelling to schools around the country, setting up scenery lighting and sound system at the schools, which are primary level.We run a short workshop for the whole school, select a group of children to perform small parts in our performance of "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde, and then perform for the whole school.

After we have left the teachers are asked to discus the play with the children.

I want to set out the codes of practice/regulations with reference to the different groups of people we have obligations to. They are-

• The general public - Road traffic acts, and Health and Safety legislation
• Our employer - Contract of Employment, Agency Agreement, General Employment Legislation
• Other cast members - Professional Code of Practice, "Image house rules"
• School Staff - Specific Schools own house rules and LEA codes
• Children (pupils) - CRB requirements, General legislation on the protection of children, Racial discrimination legislation and codes of behaviour
• Parents - When in contact with children to act in a responsible way as a good parent would

Before  my next blog I need do some "digging" to check how far my assumptions are correct.
