A flagship event presented by Dance Arts Alliance, dedicated to strengthening the safety, wellbeing, and positive development of children and young people in Dance & Performing Arts education.

Bringing together studio owners, educators, organisations, industry leaders, and experts in safeguarding, child development, mental health, education, and governance - this one-day symposium positions child safety not as optional professional development, but as a core responsibility of leadership.

We invite studio owners, experienced and emerging educators (18+), and industry professionals to join us for a powerful day of learning, discussion, and connection featuring:
• Leading voices from dance and performing arts education, child safeguarding, child development, psychology, mental health, education, and government
• Current research and emerging insights shaping best practice in safeguarding across Dance & Performing Arts
• Practical application of the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations within studios, classrooms, rehearsal spaces, and performance environments
• Guidance and support to help leaders navigate challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and accountability
• Opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals committed to creating safer, healthier industry environments for children and young people

We invite you to be part of this important conversation. Your voice matters, and your leadership has the power to help shape safer futures for every child and young person in your care.
