If it is predicted that an individual is likely to require unsupervised contact with children, he or she may be required to obtain a criminal record disclosure.

The individual will be excluded from the theatre; rehearsal rooms etc. and will not have any unsupervised contact with any other children in the production. Disclosure of abuse If a child confides in you that abuse has taken place: Remain calm and in control but do not delay taking action. Listen carefully to what has been said. Allow the child to tell you at their own pace and ask questions only for clarification. Don’t ask questions that suggest a particular answer. Don’t promise to keep it a secret. Use the first opportunity you have to share the information with the person with responsibility for child protection. Make it clear to the child that you will need to share this information with others. Make it clear that you will only tell the people who need to know and who should be able to help. Reassure the child that they did the right thing in telling someone. Tell the child what you are going to do next. Speak immediately to the person with responsibility for child protection. It is that person’s responsibility to liaise with the relevant authorities, usually social services or the police. As soon as possible after the disclosing conversation, make a note of what was said, using the child’s own words. Note the date, time, any names that were involved or mentioned, and who you gave the information to. Make sure you sign and date your record. Recording In all situations, including those in which the cause of concern arises from a disclosure made in confidence, the details of an allegation or reported incident will be recorded, regardless of whether or not the concerns have been shared with a statutory child protection agency.

The maximum number of children in the chaperone’s care shall not exceed 12. Potential chaperones may be required to supply photographic proof of identity and two references from individuals with knowledge of their previous work with children, unless already well known to the society. They may also be asked to sign a declaration stating that there is no reason why they would be considered unsuitable to work with children. Chaperones will be made aware of the society’s Child Protection Policy and Procedures. Where chaperones are not satisfied with the conditions for the children, they should bring this to the attention of the director/stage manager. If changes cannot be made satisfactorily the chaperone should consider not allowing the child to continue. If a chaperone considers that a child is unwell or too tired to continue, the chaperone must inform the director/stage manager and not allow the child to continue. No child of compulsory school age is permitted to do anything which may endanger life or limb. This could include working on wires or heavy lifting. Chaperones should tell the director/stage manager to cease using children in this way, and should contact the local authority. During performances, chaperones will be responsible for meeting children at the stage door and signing them into the building. Children will be kept together at all times except when using separate dressing rooms. Chaperones will be aware of where the children are at all times. Children are not to leave the theatre unsupervised by chaperones unless in the company of their parents/guardians. Children will be adequately supervised while going to and from the toilets. Children will not be allowed to enter the adult dressing rooms. Chaperones should be aware of the safety arrangements and first aid procedures in the venue, and will ensure that children in their care do not place themselves and others in danger. Chaperones should ensure that any accidents are reported to and recorded by the society. Chaperones should examine accident books each day. If an accident has occurred, the producer is not allowed to use that child until a medically qualified opinion has been obtained (not just the word of the parent or child). Chaperones should have written arrangements for children after performances. If someone different is to collect the child, a telephone call should be made to the parent/guardian to confirm the arrangements. Children should be signed out when leaving and a record made of the person collecting. If a parent has not collected the child, it is the duty of the chaperone to stay with that child or make arrangements to take them home. This policy is applicable to and focuses on, children of compulsory school age and below. A child is required to attend school unless they are over the age of 16 on 31st of August, or until the last Friday in June after their 16th birthday. Join our mailing list Subscribe
