At Royal Existence Dance Academy, the safety, wellbeing and dignity of every child is our highest priority.
We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where children feel confident to express themselves, be heard, and speak up if something doesn’t feel right. We have zero tolerance for child abuse, harm or neglect and take all concerns seriously.
We believe children and young people have the right to feel safe and to be listened to.
If something makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, worried, or unsure — it’s okay to speak up. You will not get in trouble for telling someone, and we will always take you seriously.
Children and families can raise a concern or complaint in any of the following ways:
