Our clear commitment to child protection and the safeguarding of our members, venue teams and audience is of the highest priority.
We Require all of our tutors, directors and assistants to apply for Enhanced Clearance via the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service, formerly Criminal Records Bureau or CRB). Ahead of each production, we notify East Sussex County Council of all children (under the age of 16) who are involved as is legally required.
Safety protocols are regularly reviewed to ensure that everyone is operating at the highest level of child protection standards. All necessary insurance, fire safety and first aid protocols are also established. Due to the current pandemic circumstances, we also have our own COVID-19 policy in place – you can read this here.
