Our commitment

Dance Xplosion is committed to child safety. All children who come to Dance Xplosion have a right to feel and be safe. We aim to create a child safe and child friendly environment where children feel safe and have fun. Children and young people are valued, protected and always our priority at Dance Xplosion and as such are encouraged to participate, speak up and feel comfortable they will be heard by all employees, sub-contractors and volunteers.

We at Dance Xplosion value diversity and do not tolerate any discriminatory practices. We will listen to and act on any concerns children, or their parents, bring to our attention. Dance Xplosion will not tolerate incidents of child abuse. Abuse and neglect include:

  • Physical abuse - when a person purposefully injures or threatens to injure a child or young person.
  • Emotional abuse - an attack on a child or young person’s self-esteem e.g., through bullying, name calling, threatening, ridiculing, intimidating or isolating the child.
  • Sexual abuse - any sexual act or sexual threat imposed on a child or young person.
  • Neglect - where a child or young person is harmed by the failure to provide the basic physical or emotional necessities.

Employees, Sub contractors and Volunteers of Dance Xplosion must notify the Child Abuse Report Line (CARL) on 13 14 78 as soon as practicable if they have a reasonable suspicion that a child has been or is being abused or neglected.

Scope

This policy applies to children, families, employees, sub-contractors, volunteers, and visitors of Dance Xplosion.

Employees, sub-contractors, and volunteers will be required to read and sign the associated document - Dance Xplosion Child Safe Code of Conduct prior to conducting any role within Dance Xplosion.

Communication

Dance Xplosion employees, sub-contractors, and volunteers will be provided with a copy of this Dance Xplosion Child Safe Environment Policy at the time of engagement along with their copy of the Dance Xplosion Code of Conduct. The Dance Xplosion Child Safe Environment Policy is summarised within the Dance Xplosion Parent Handbook issued to all new customers and returning customers at the beginning of each new year or at the time of enrolment during the year. Customers are advised of updates to the parent handbook and reissued with the updated version as required. The full Dance Xplosion Child Safe Environment Policy is available for customers as a hard copy at reception during reception operation hours and a digital copy is emailed upon request in accordance with the Children and Young People (Safety) Act 2017.

Participation

At Dance Xplosion we place a strong focus ensuring students understand they have a right to speak up and be heard. We actively encourage children and young people within our school to be involved in discussion knowing their input is valued. An affective practice is to engage each student individually while completing the role at the beginning of each class, asking each student how they are and how their day has been outside of dance. Children are encouraged to comment on good or not so good aspects of their day. This process assists our children and young people to build confidence and feel included while enabling our teachers to identify the emotional state of each student right at the beginning of each class enabling them to conduct their lesson being mindful of the student’s emotional state as well as identify any potential issues and report if required.

Dance Xplosion has a proven system of promoting students into student teacher roles as they progress through their qualifications from completing examinations and heading toward their own transition from student to instructor of dance. Our student teachers are friendly familiar faces whom the younger students are comfortable and familiar with. This assists in providing a familiar level of contact for students if they feel uncomfortable with talking directly to a senior teacher. Our student teachers are briefed to understand and value their role as a support system for younger children and are aware of the need to report any concerns to the Director or senior teachers present within their lesson as soon as possible if they feel an issue requires further investigation.

Within the Dance Xplosion Parent Handbook we discuss the importance of parents and staff working together to make dance a supportive environment for children to develop emotionally, psychologically, and physically through feeling safe and encouraged. Included in this is the importance of parents voicing concerns for students identified through conversation with their children and or observation of their children enabling us to work together to address any potential issues promptly and effectively.

Code of conduct

Our Dance Xplosion Code of Conduct is issued to staff, sub-contractors, teaching assistants and volunteers upon engagement with Dance Xplosion. Our Code of conduct provides information on reporting breaches of the code of conduct and reporting suspected harm or risk of harm to a child or young person. Our code of conduct provides a guide of appropriate and inappropriate conduct (do’s and don’ts) and the process taken if a breach is identified including possible outcomes if a breach is identified. Our Code of Conduct reflects that all children and young persons are treated with respect and equity irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes and religious beliefs.
