Etiquette, Customs and Protocol Guides

Use this link for General Guidance on Etiquette and Countries from Kwintessential

Notice copied from the Website's Warning! "It is important to bear in mind that these guides act as basic and general introductions only. They are not in any way definitive. We do not intend to stereotype, pigeon-hole or try to quantify any culture or people. Each society, country and culture will have numerous nuances that would make it irresponsible to suggest a uniform approach to understanding any country's social/business culture or etiquette. One also has to take into account the personal cultures of individuals, whether they be religious, regional, gender, corporate or otherwise. However, loose guidelines can assist in bettering understanding and avoiding offence; and these guides are meant only to achieve that."

A Practical Reference to Religious and Spiritual Diversity for Operational Police (3rd Edition) (PDF)
This Reference has been developed by the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA), together with police jurisdictions, religious representatives and community groups. ANZPAA gratefully acknowledges the valuable assistance provided by all those who contributed advice and support in developing this valuable resource. ANZPAA is committed to achieving excellence in Australia and New Zealand policing through the development of publications, policies and research on cross-jurisdictional policing initiatives. ANZPAA is a joint initiative of the Australian and New Zealand Police Ministers and Commissioners. This Reference is based on a similar initiative of the former Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau (APMAB). The roles and functions of APMAB were absorbed into ANZPAA in October 2007.
