Safeguarding Policy

KV Dance School has a clear duty to protect the welfare of every child and young person we teach, in line with the Children Act 1989 and 2004 and the Education Act 2002.

The wellbeing of the child always comes first. Every child, without exception, has the right to be protected from harm — whatever their gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or beliefs — and no child will be treated less favourably than another.

A child is anyone under 18. Our safeguarding guidelines apply to all students until their 18th birthday, including those who live independently, work or are in further education.

For us, safeguarding means protecting children from harm, supporting their health and development, providing safe and effective care, and giving every child the best chance to flourish.

We put this into practice by training our teachers, listening carefully to children and parents, and acting promptly on any concern. If you ever have a worry about a child's welfare, please speak to the school director straight away.
