  A large customer notice seen at the entrance to a Tesco store today shows their way of imposing a dress code on the public in warmer weather:


  "For reasons of Health & Safety shoes and tops must be worn..."

    I can't help but think that it is not a library's place to impose a
    dress code - I really can't think of any time I've come across anyone
    dressed beyond the bounds of decency in the library in which I work -
    although anything is possible I suppose.

    That said, I was chatting to some colleagues the other day about the
    issue we seem to have of students kicking their trainers off whilst they
    are working on either our silent or open-plan study areas.  The pong of
    sweaty feet can be quite overbearing at times...

    Would a sign asking for footwear to be kept on be too prescriptive?
    Probably.

    Perhaps a student dress code is a little far, but I can't see a problem
    with
    putting up signs requesting that users do not wear certain items as they
    may
    cause offence...obviously stating which items. Or simply a quiet word
    with
    the students concerned.

    However, you would need to bear in mind that being asked not to wear
    something may also cause offence...a minefield in many ways.

    Obviously this depends on what offence was causes, was it against
    someones
    religious beliefs? Does the institution consider it fair to push one
    persons
    views onto the whole? Was the student almost bare or wearing a Mankini?
    etc
    etc

    I am afraid I don't have dress code to share with you.

      Hi All



      Does anyone have a dress code for students that they could share with

      me? With the hot weather a number of staff have felt that a lot of the

      students are inappropriately dressed. On a number of occasions this

    has

      been offensive to the member of staff.



      Any support would be appreciated.



      Thanks
