We are thrilled to announce that we have now reached 900 Code Signatories who have adopted the SAFE TO CREATE CODE OF BEHAVIOUR!

These organisations and individuals have pledged to create a safe, inclusive, respectful workplace where artists, arts workers and creatives can thrive, free from all forms of harassment, discrimination, bullying and victimisation.

The Code of Behaviour is a robust standard for how allegations of harmful behaviour should be dealt with throughout the arts and creative sectors.

It was developed so all those working in the arts can be clear about their rights and obligations regarding respect and dignity at work.

Have you signed the Code?

Do you work in an arts or creative sector organisation?

Has your organisation signed up to the Dignity in the Workplace Code of Behaviour yet?

The Code of Behaviour sets a clear, robust standard for how allegations of harmful behaviour should be addressed across the arts and creative sectors. It was developed to ensure everyone working in the arts understands their rights and responsibilities when it comes to dignity and respect at work.

We're encouraging arts organisations and individuals to formally sign up and publicly demonstrate their commitment to implementing the Code.

Signing up is straightforward. We have a step-by-step guide to the process, as well as an Easy-to-Read version of the Code to support accessibility.
