Children see the world through their incredible imaginations. This is especially true when they are taking part in an exciting activity, such as acting in a Theatre production or being involved in a TV Programme. But these exciting activities can be risky to children if they are not properly protected.
This essential e-learning course , produced by the UK’s experts on safeguarding, the NSPCC , in association with the National Network for Children in Employment and Entertainment (NNCEE) and the BBC, covers the key statutory guidance that chaperones in the entertainment industry need to know.
I undertake this course as a yearly refresher, to ensure I am up to date with all the current legislation and best practice. The course content also covers:
- Knowing the laws in each nation that underpin your responsibilities
- Understanding how to recognise possible areas of concern
- Knowing how to respond to these concerns in the appropriate way
- Understanding how to report any child protection concerns to those that are responsible for taking action
- Understanding how to make a record of what you have seen and heard.
