Ethics Policy

About this page

The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (Central) has an Ethics Policy in place to provide guidance on the framework and processes through which it undertakes its activities.

In fulfilling its mission and purpose, Central is committed to complying with the obligations of social responsibility, including the protection of human rights, civil liberties and the natural environment. Integral to this is Central’s collective commitment to high ethical standards across all activities and the promotion of health and wellbeing.

Central aims to create a dynamic and inspiring culture which supports innovation and creativity. The global environment is ever-changing with uncertainty and the ways in which we operate have become more complex. It is important that we define our collective ethical vision and set out the values, policies, procedures and standards that guide the way we work. 

Central embraces the principles of ethical awareness and practices throughout its activities and the development of a culture where staff, students, visiting professionals, collaborators and other stakeholders feel comfortable about raising and discussing ethical issues.

A revised Ethical Policy framework is currently under review and is due to be published in July 2022.
