We advise also to keep a professional attitude at BIMM gigs off site.
BIMM does not tolerate intimate personal or sexual relationships between tutors and students. Such relationships are treated as a major breach of professional ethics. This is something that is heavily monitored by our partner colleges. If an inappropriate relationship comes to light, we are duty bound to inform our partner colleges. This is a community responsibility: we ALL have a duty to report infractions in this area. In the case of underage students, legal action will follow.
Many of our students are under-age which means we have a special responsibility to them and to their parents, please be aware of this at all times
Punctuality
You must arrive at least 15 minutes before class starts and ensure that you have the register and all teaching materials ready for every session. It’s essential that you do not try and photocopy for a lecture five minutes before that lecture starts, as there is bound to be a queue and then the session will start late. Plan ahead!
Tutors cannot be late and sessions must start and end on time. Of course there will be times when there is a genuine problem with traffic or trains and when that happens we’ll deal with it (see below). However, please allow some time for bad traffic. If people are repeatedly late then we just won’t be able to work with them.
