All children within the organisation of Centrestage Performing Arts School have a right to feel and be safe. The welfare of the children in our care will always be our first priority and we have zero tolerance for child abuse and bullying. We aim to create a child-safe and child-friendly environment where children feel safe and have fun.
This policy was developed in collaboration with all of our staff, volunteers, and the children and parents who use our services.
