Health, Safety & Liability

Whilst every care is taken to provide a safe and supportive environment, Ballet Club UK cannot accept responsibility for injury, loss, or damage to personal belongings whilst attending classes or events.

By enrolling, parents/guardians acknowledge and accept these terms.

Behaviour & Safety

At Ballet Club UK, the safety, wellbeing, and positive experience of every child is our highest priority.

If a child’s behaviour is repeatedly disruptive, unsafe, or harmful towards other students, a discussion will first be held with the parent/guardian to work together towards a positive resolution.

Should the behaviour continue and no suitable resolution be reached, Ballet Club UK reserves the right, at the teacher’s discretion, to withdraw the child from classes in order to maintain a safe and supportive environment for all students.

Safeguarding & Child Welfare

The wellbeing of every child is our highest priority.

Ballet Club UK is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in line with UK best practice.

All staff work to create a safe, supportive, and respectful environment.

Students are supervised only during their scheduled class time.

Parents/guardians remain responsible for children before and after class, including drop-off and collection.

If you have any safeguarding concerns, please contact us directly and confidentially.
