Individuals should respect personal boundaries and explain necessary professional contact where appropriate.
Unnecessary, sexual, threatening or deliberately inappropriate physical contact is prohibited.
Concerns about touching, fittings, styling or personal boundaries should be raised with an appropriate MyDream or production representative.
06 Discrimination
Discriminatory Harassment
Harassment or abusive treatment based on a legally protected characteristic is prohibited.
Legitimate requirements of a specific casting, performance, production, competition or programme may be considered where lawful and genuinely relevant.
Such requirements do not justify harassment, humiliation or unlawful discrimination.
07 Threats, Violence and Dangerous Behaviour
Violence and Threats
Physical violence, credible threats of violence and intentionally dangerous conduct are prohibited.
MyDream or venue personnel may take immediate reasonable action where necessary to protect safety.
Do not rely solely on a website form or ordinary email for an emergency.
08 Stalking and Repeated Unwanted Contact
Unwanted Contact
Repeated unwanted following, monitoring, messaging or contact may constitute inappropriate or harassing behaviour.
Individuals should respect clear requests to stop personal or non-essential contact.
Necessary professional communications may continue where legitimately required to administer an event, programme or contractual obligation.
09 Backstage Privacy and Changing Areas
Privacy Backstage
Backstage, changing and dressing environments require particular respect for privacy.
Individuals must not:
- enter restricted areas without authorisation;
- photograph people changing without appropriate permission;
- secretly record private dressing activity;
- intentionally expose another person's private information or imagery;
- disregard reasonable backstage privacy instructions.
Credential requirements and restricted-access rules must be followed.

- people involved;
- potential witnesses;
- relevant supporting information.
13 No Retaliation for Good-Faith Reports
Retaliation
Retaliation may include threats, intimidation, punishment or deliberate adverse treatment because a person raised a genuine concern or participated in a review.
A good-faith report does not need to be ultimately substantiated in order to be made in good faith.
14 Knowingly False or Malicious Reports
Deliberate Misuse
A report that cannot be substantiated is not automatically a false report.
However, deliberately fabricating serious allegations or knowingly submitting materially false information for malicious purposes may itself violate the Code of Conduct.
This provision should not be used to discourage people from raising genuine concerns.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- speaking with the reporter;
- speaking with witnesses;
- speaking with the person reported;
- reviewing available records;
- reviewing messages or media;
- consulting venue personnel;
- taking immediate protective measures where appropriate.
The exact process may vary depending on the seriousness, information available and legal obligations.
16 Confidentiality and Privacy
Information Handling
Safety and harassment reports may contain sensitive personal information.
MyDream will seek to handle such information responsibly and limit disclosure where reasonably possible.
Information may need to be shared where reasonably necessary to investigate, respond, protect safety or comply with law.
Personal information is also subject to the Privacy Policy .
