Depending on the size and budget of a theatre, as well as the detail needed to fulfill certain settings, the scenery can vary among productions. The scenery of Resident Alien was pretty simple and basic, yet it still conveyed the appropriate setting to the audience. Not having an overbearing amount of scenery allowed for the audience to focus on the performers and what was happening. With such a small stage, there wasn’t much space to utilize, but the set designers did a great job of using what…

All staff that is on site must hold an appropriate up to date DBS check. This vetting and barring prevents anyone who shouldnâ€TMt be working with vulnerable people/children getting access to them. The school (and other settings) has a duty of care to ensure that all staff are appropriately trained regularly in safeguarding, and understand fully the process with reporting and recording disclosures for that particular setting.

Brokerage research has tended to assume that the advantages afforded by network position are uniformly across actors. Using detailed interview data along with…

How someone is treated in the workplace will impact on how professional they are in their job. While working at a previous educational setting I felt, although the school worked well, information was not shared well with every member of staff. good communication is, in my opinion, a key component to professionalism. You feel a more valued member of the team if information and decisions are shared with you. Although I understand not all information can be shared due to confidentiality, it is…
