Task 5a – My Thoughts on professional Code Of Practice

I decided to do the code of practice in the two main areas of my work at the moment which is as a singer and my part time job as a Pre production assistant.

I have never been given a copy of a code of conduct for either of these areas however as a singer I gained most of my knowledge around code of practice through either training or experience and peer support.  Again my part time job does not have any formal written code of conduct and as I started to write the list I realised there are a lot of similarities across the two areas.  So without seeking any official paperwork or web searching here are my thoughts and format on what I consider are codes of practice/regulation which guide the setting .

A singer should:

·         General

o   Maintain and take care of their voice
