SAFEGUARDING POLICY

​

 

​

1. Our Commitment

Fun Chorus is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for everyone who takes part in our sessions, performances and events.

​

Fun Chorus is a community choir and our sessions are not staffed or equipped to provide personal care, supervision or one-to-one support.

​

2. Who This Applies To

This policy applies to all Fun Chorus members, PAYG participants, tasters, volunteers and anyone else taking part in Fun Chorus activities.

​

3. Participation and Support

  • Participants must be able to attend and leave Fun Chorus activities safely and independently.

  • Fun Chorus does not provide transport, personal care or one-to-one support.

  • Anyone who requires assistance to participate safely is welcome to attend with a carer, family member or friend who can provide the support they need.

  • The accompanying person remains responsible for providing that support throughout the activity.

  • Participants are responsible for managing their own wellbeing while taking part in Fun Chorus activities.

 

4. Reporting a Concern

If you are concerned that someone may be vulnerable, at risk of harm or unable to participate safely, please speak privately to a Fun Chorus leader.

We will listen to concerns and take appropriate action based on the circumstances. Where necessary, we may contact an appropriate family member or emergency contact, or seek advice from the relevant safeguarding service or emergency service.

If there is an immediate risk of serious harm, emergency services may be contacted.

​

5. Managing Risk

We reserve the right to:

  • Ask a participant to attend with appropriate support if we believe this is necessary for their safety or the safety of others.

  • Make reasonable adjustments where possible to support safe participation.

  • Limit or refuse participation in a particular activity where we cannot provide a safe environment for the individual or the wider group.

  • Ask someone to leave a session or event where their behaviour or circumstances create a significant risk to themselves or others.

 

6. Respect and Inclusion

Everyone attending Fun Chorus is expected to treat other participants, leaders, volunteers, venue staff and visitors with respect.

Bullying, harassment, threatening behaviour or behaviour that puts others at risk will not be accepted.

 

7. Review

This policy will be reviewed annually or sooner if circumstances or concerns require it.
