IDC Professional Ethics & Dual Relationships 3

Question 1

How should an intimacy coordinator respond to social media inquiries asking about specific scenes or performers on a production?

Accepted Answer

Decline to disclose any specifics about individuals, productions, or scenes to protect confidentiality

Answer

Confidentiality obligations protect performers regardless of the platform; social media disclosures — even seemingly general ones — can violate professional trust and ethical duties.

Question 2

Which scenario most clearly represents a conflict of interest for an intimacy coordinator?

Accepted Answer

Coordinating a production in which an immediate family member has a leading acting role

Answer

A close family relationship with a key performer creates a direct conflict of interest that can compromise the coordinator's ability to advocate impartially for all performers.

Question 3

How should an intimacy coordinator respond when production culture discourages raising safety concerns?

Accepted Answer

Raise concerns through appropriate channels and be prepared to document and escalate if necessary

Answer

Professional ethics require advocacy for performer safety regardless of cultural pressure; the coordinator's primary obligation is to performer wellbeing, not workplace harmony or self-preservation.

Question 4

When an intimacy coordinator makes a professional mistake on set, what does professional integrity require?

Accepted Answer

Acknowledge the error, take corrective action, and communicate transparently with relevant parties

Answer

Acknowledging errors transparently and taking corrective action upholds trust, models the accountability expected of all professionals on set, and helps prevent recurrence.

Question 5

When a performer shares personal trauma history with an intimacy coordinator during preparation, this information should be:

Accepted Answer

Used only to inform the coordinator's approach and kept strictly confidential to protect the performer

Answer

Personal disclosures are made in confidence to help the coordinator provide appropriate support; sharing them beyond this purpose violates trust, consent, and professional ethics.
