Task 5A Ethics In My Place Of Work

As I work for a private dance school and not in a public school, there is not a set of rules, a code of conduct or any training specific to the school that you need to go through. These are my personal thoughts on the ethics I need to follow as a dance teacher.

• Permission for photos for social media or promotion purposes.
• Full DBS Check.
• Hold dance teaching qualifications.
• If I want to slightly adjust a child's alignment (e.g an arm in second position in ballet) I would ask first.
• Treating every child the same, but identifying individual needs.
• Being an appropriate role model.
• Stick to timings and plans, so pupils know what to expect.
• Keep parents informed of any mishaps (fall outs or falling over in class).
• Keeping my boss (owner) informed of the above.
• Make sure uniform rules are applied and adhered to by all pupils.
• Allow toilet and water breaks where necessary.
• If children are too young to go to the toilet on their own, ensure a helper or parent goes with them.
• Always use appropriate language.
• Dress appropriately.
• Always have the children needs as a top priority.
• Have insurance if needed.
