We have significantly expanded our Children and young people in the arts section of the website.

Explore our new:

• Handy dos and don’ts for keeping children and young people safe in creative workplaces.
• Step by step guidance on what to do if a child or young person tells you they feel unsafe.

There is tailored information:

• For children and young people — Learn about your right to a safe creative workplace, your responsibilities to help create a safe workplace for others, and what you can expect from the adults around you.
• For parents, guardians and carers — Know how to support and protect your children and young people participating in the arts.

For creative organisations and businesses 

We have lots of new information to help creative organisations and businesses create safe workplaces for children and young people.

This includes practical information to help you develop your own:

• Child Safety Code of Conduct — Set clear expectations for how people engaging with children and young people should behave in your workplace.
• Charter of Rights for children and young people — Communicate your organisation’s commitment to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. 

Learn about: 

• some of the more common safety issues for children and young people in the arts
• how to manage those physical safety hazards and psychosocial safety hazards more likely to impact children and young people. 

We will continue to add new resources to support fair, safe and respectful workplaces across the sectors.
