Safeguarding Yourself: Protection, Policy and Professionalism When Working with Young People

30 September 2026
10:00-11:00 BST

Safeguarding in dance doesn't have to mean suffocating restrictions, mountain-high paperwork, or sacrificing the physical and creative nature of dance teaching. This interactive webinar delivered by Cornerstone Safeguarding is designed specifically for dance educators to debunk common myths around safeguarding and provide clear, practical strategies to protect both yourself and the students in your care.

 

We will cover:

  • The Protections: Simple practical ways to maintain a safe environment.
  • Myth-Busting: Quashing the misconceptions that safeguarding creates unnecessary workload or limits your ability to teach effectively.
  • Policy & Professionalism: How to confidently navigate guidelines so they support your teaching, rather than get in the way.

 

This live session on Zoom will offer plenty of space to address real-world studio scenarios, answer your questions, and streamline your approach to safety.
