George’s Academy of Dance is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.

All children and young people regardless of their age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religious beliefs, ability and family background have the right to be protected from harm and to be treated with dignity and respect. We are an inclusive organisation that recognises and respects diversity and we are committed to proactively supporting and building the cultural safety and inclusion of all children and young people.  

 

As a child safe organisation, we are committed to providing welcoming, safe and accessible environments where all children and young people feel valued, are listened to and are genuinely considered and involved in decisions that affect their lives.

​

We have a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse. We are committed to creating and maintaining a child-safe and child-friendly organisation where all children and young people are valued and protected from abuse

and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated seriously.  We have legal and moral obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about a child’s safety.  Our organisation is committed to preventing child abuse and identifying risks early, and removing and reducing these risks.

​

The wellbeing and safety of the children and young people in our care will always be our priority. We have specific policies, procedures and practices in place to support our people to achieve these commitments. 

In conjunction with this all of our staff members have a current Working with Children Check, and vow to adhere to this policy.
