Creating Safer Festivals for Everyone
The Federation and its member Festivals use the following policies and procedures to create Safer Festivals
for everyone:
1. A single, definitive Child Protection Policy adopted by all Federation Festivals.
2. One or more designated Festival Safeguarding Officers (FSO) appointed for each Federation Festival. The
FSO for Carlisle & District Music & Drama Festival is:
Mrs Avril Tisdall - telephone 07586 354832 - email [email protected]
3. Best practice advice in the form of Safe Working Practice and Festival Child Protection leaflets, with
support and training for all Festival staff and volunteers. Including clear reporting procedures for anyone
with a concern about a child.
4. Appropriate recruitment and induction procedures for all new Festival staff and volunteers responsible
for providing safe environments for everyone attending / performing at a Federation Festival.
5. All Festival personnel wear an official Festival badge. All teachers/parents/guardians /carers are
asked to report all incidents of any nature to anyone wearing a Festival badge. All reported incidents will
be handled in accordance with the Safe Working Practice and Festival Child Protection best practice
advice. In addition we will ensure the availability of a quiet area / room where concerns can be expressed
in private.
6. For the duration of a Festival all teachers/parents/guardians/carers are responsible for the continuous
care and supervision of their own children/pupils. If they are unable to attend personally, they must
delegate their responsibilities to an identified adult and ensure that their children/pupils are aware of
the identity and name of the person responsible for their care. This includes supervision throughout all
Festival venues and practice areas that may be provided. The Festival cannot take responsibility for any
property left unattended.
7. No unauthorised photography, audio or video recording of children and young people is allowed at our
Festivals. Where parents/guardians/carers do not wish photos to be taken at all, then the responsible
adult attending should ensure that their child is not included in official photos.
8. Some children and vulnerable adults may have specific needs in order to take part. If this is the case we
ask the responsible teachers/parents/guardians/carers to contact the Festival Secretary prior to arrival.
The Festival actively seeks wherever possible to meet these needs, but must know beforehand in order
to prepare support – or to advise that help cannot be provided on this occasion.
9. The Festival’s Child Protection Policy and approach to Creating Safer Festivals for Everyone is published
explicitly in our Syllabus, Programme and Website. By completing and signing the entry form all parents
/ guardians / carers and teachers of competitors under 18 (or vulnerable adults of any age) confirm that
they give (or have obtained) the necessary consents for the competitors to take part in the Festival.
Without consent the entry to the Festival cannot be accepted.
Carlisle and District Music and Drama Festival - Child Protection Policy
Festival Safeguarding Officer: Mrs Avril Tisdall - [email protected] - 07586 354832
The British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech work for amateur
festivals everywhere to help create thousands of educational performance opportunities for children and
young people each year.
The Federation, and our member Festivals, are committed to ensuring safe environments for children and
young people and believe that it is always unacceptable for a child or young person to experience abuse of
any kind. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people, by a
commitment to recommend best practice which protects them.
This policy applies to our Board of Trustees, paid staff, Adjudicator members, volunteers, students or anyone
working on behalf of the Federation and our member Festivals.
We recognise that:
•
the welfare of the child/young person is paramount
•
all children, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or
identity, have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse
•
working in partnership with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is
essential in promoting young people’s welfare.
The purpose of the policy:
•
to provide protection for the children and young people who participate in our festivals, including
the children of festival members
•
to provide staff and volunteers with guidance on procedures they should adopt in the event that they
suspect a child or young person may be experiencing, or be at risk of, harm
We will seek to safeguard children and young people by:
•
valuing them, listening to and respecting them
•
adopting child protection guidelines through procedures and safe working practice for staff and
volunteers
•
recruiting staff and volunteers safely, ensuring all necessary checks are made
•
sharing information about child protection and safe working practice with children, parents, staff
and volunteers
•
sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know, and involving parents and
children appropriately
•
providing effective management for staff and volunteers through supervision, support and training.
The Federation will review this policy each year in November in line with Safe Network guidance or sooner
in light of any changes in legislation or guidance. All changes will be communicated to our member Festivals
in time for the start of the new Festival year.
