Safety

DBS Checks

All our workshop leaders and performers have enhanced DBS checks issued within the last three years, or alternatively, an older check registered on the update service and checked by us within the last year. They carry their certificates with them. In the event that they forget their certificate, a copy can be obtained from our office.

Insurance

We carry public liability insurance cover to £10 million through Zurich Insurance. Confirmation of insurance for the period April 2024 to March 2025 is available for download.

Child Protection Policy

Our Child Protection Policy is available for download here.

Covid-19

We no longer ask workshop leaders to test before they visit a school, but if they are knowingly positive in advance then we will arrange appropriate cover. If you require proof of a negative test result ahead of our visit then please let us know in good time.

Online Workshops - One-to-One Style

This risk assessment covers the use of Whereby, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or similar to deliver a workshop between two call endpoints: i.e. our workshop leader in a video call with the school hall or classroom where the class teacher is physically present in the room. It is not intended for a “mosaic style” zoom call with more than two endpoints. Download here.

Online Workshops - Remote Education

This risk assessment covers workshops where many of the children are accessing from their homes. We access these using the school’s Teams/Zoom or similar account, and your usual safeguarding procedures also apply. Download here.
