Mission.

Establish and maintain an environment where children feel secure, are encouraged to talk, and are listened to when they have a worry or concern. Establish and maintain an environment where Theatre Factory staff and volunteers feel safe, are encouraged to talk and are listened to when they have concerns about the safety and wellbeing of a child.

The Theatre Facorty has considered its responsibilities to the students participating in classes very carefully, and therefore has produced the following safeguarding and child protection policy and underpinning procedures in order to set out the standards we wish to uphold in providing activities for children and in safeguarding the welfare of children in our care. This policy has been developed in accordance with the principals established by the Children Acts 1989 and 2004; The Education Act 2002 and Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018.
