MUSIC CLASSES: The Festival cannot legally allow anyone to play/perform from photocopied music, and has no

choice but to disqualify performers who do so, unless before their class starts, they can produce evidence showing

that the publisher’s agreement has been sought and given or an original copy is in the room. The only photocopies

the Festival can allow in law are:

1). Copies for the adjudicator’s use, which will be destroyed at the end of each class;

2). For an awkward page-turn which may hinder a performance;

3). Those that comply with current photocopy laws.

4). Copies bought from a legal website such as musicroom.com are acceptable.

The Festival has to be strict with this regulation. You are asked to comply with it to avoid unpleasant situations

arising during the Festival.

ACCOMPANISTS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Entrants are advised that the Festival no longer offers official accompanists. It is the responsibility of performers who require an accompanist to find their own in good time before the Festival.

The following accompanists have agreed to their names being published in this syllabus. It is

recommended that you should make contact with your accompanist by 1st March, 2014 to allow for preparation time.

You must expect to pay a fee for your Festival performance and any rehearsals you arrange. Whilst you

may consider it beneficial to have a rehearsal, you are not under any obligation to do so. Payment is now a matter between the accompanist and the performer, as rates are no longer set by the Cheltenham

Festival of Performing Arts. Music must be sent direct to the accompanist when the engagement is

made.

You are advised to inform your accompanist if you are unable to attend your Festival Class, or you may still be charged with the agreed fee.

CHILD PROTECTION SAFEGUARDING POLICY: Implemented from

September 2012

Please read before completing the entry form

CHAIRMAN’S NAME AND ADDRESS: Rod Davis, 58 King William Drive, Cheltenham

GL53 7RP

Venues: Cheltenham Town Hall, Bethseda Methodist Church, and Subtone. Dates: Wednesday 7th - Sunday 18th May 2014

Preliminary Statement

The safety of children and vulnerable adults is paramount and all, without exception, have the

right of protection from abuse. All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously

and responded to swiftly and appropriately. All the charity’s trustees, officers and volunteers

have a responsibility to report concerns.

1. PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF ORGANISATION

Our aim is to advance the education of the public in the Arts, and in particular the Arts of Music, Speech

and Drama and Dance in all their branches.

2. THE FESTIVAL ENVIRONMENT

We endeavour, as far as it is practicable to do so, to provide a safe environment at the Festival. We

inform all parents, guardians, carers and teachers of competitors up to age 18, that the well being and

safety of children remains their responsibility whilst at the Festival and that neither the Festival, nor its officers or helpers will accept this responsibility. The Festival takes place in buildings which are

generally open to the public. In addition the surrounding external areas of the Festival buildings are

open for public access. Parents/ teachers/carers and guardians should take note of this when arranging

for transportation to Festival locations, and the supervision of children whilst on site. Parents/ teachers/carers and guardians will receive a copy of this policy and are expected to establish and

maintain processes of supervision whilst their children and pupils are taking part in Festival activities.

The Festival is a charity which is run entirely by volunteers with the occasional addition of one part time

paid member of staff. It is the policy of our Festival to inform and involve parents/guardians/carers and teachers in partnership in order to ensure, as far as it is reasonably practical, a safe environment at our

Festival. We do this by ensuring that you receive a copy of this policy at the time you are making

arrangements to attend the Festival.

3. TO WHOM THIS POLICY APPLIES This policy relates to children under the age of 18 years and those vulnerable adults of any age who are

identified to the organisers by Parents/Guardians/Teachers/Carers prior to their arrival at the Festival.

This should be done by contacting the relevant Section secretary in writing. Our Festival actively seeks,

wherever possible, to meet these needs, but must know beforehand in order to prepare support – or to let you know that we are unable to help.

4. FESTIVAL PERSONNEL

All personnel are volunteers and registers of names and addresses are kept by the Office Manager for

Office Helpers and the Chief Steward for Stewards. The recruitment of new volunteers comes either from the recommendation of an existing helper or an offer of help from someone interested in the work

of the Festival. References for all new helpers are asked for. Individual helpers who will be, or likely to


be, in the sole company of a child will have completed a Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure form (CRB). Other volunteer helpers will ensure that they are not placed in potentially vulnerable situations

and therefore, where appropriate, will always be working in pairs. A job description is provided and all

jobs are reviewed to see if an enhanced disclosure from the CRB is needed.

All helpers receive a copy of our Policy, are briefed on their obligations and agree with its

implementation. Whilst on duty they will wear an official badge stating their role. In case of a problem,

anyone wearing a badge may be approached and will be able to help. All problems reported will be

taken seriously, documented and dated. During the Festival there is an administrative office which is

staffed by a member of the Festival Executive Committee.

5. PREPARATION FOR ATTENDANCE AT THE FESTIVAL

A copy of this policy is sent out to all parents/guardians/carers/teachers and group leaders with the

tickets/programmes or timetables. We do this to impress upon you that responsibility for the safety of the children in your care is yours and that you then become partners with us in implementing this

Policy.

Private teachers/group leaders are asked to forward a copy of this policy to parents/guardians/carers who have children under the age of 18 years who are attending the Festival. They will be asked to confirm

by email or post that the CPP has been distributed, and failure to reply will result in their entries

not being accepted as it may damage our charity irreparably if you fail to follow our safeguarding

policy.

Parents/Teachers/Guardians/Carers should ensure that they remain in the Festival buildings and are

available to collect and supervise their children at all times.

Where Parents/Teachers/Guardians/ Carers are not personally attending with their children, this Policy

requires them to be satisfied that their children will be accompanied to the Festival and adequately

supervised by responsible adults acting on their behalf..

6. PERFORMANCE AREAS AND CHANGING ROOMS Public areas and practice areas are unsupervised. Changing facilities for dancers are closed off from the

general public. Responsibility for the supervision and patrolling of the changing areas rests with

the Parents/Teachers/Carers/Guardians.

7. PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOTAPES, AND PRESS PHOTOGRAPHY Photography, filming, videotape recording, digital recording or recording by any means by members of

the public or fellow competitors is strictly prohibited in any of the competition rooms. A professional

photographer is in attendance during the Dance classes but is not employed or endorsed by the Festival.

Parents/Guardians/Carers/Teachers must be in attendance and agree to the photographs being taken.

Press photographers will be required to display an appropriate identity card and are only allowed to take

photographs with the prior permission of the Executive Committee. He/she must be accompanied by a

member of the Executive Committee at all times.

8. THE LEGISLATION AND GUIDANCE THAT SUPPORTS THIS POLICY The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974: The Children Act 1989: The Police Act 1997: The Data

Protection Act 1998: The Human Rights Act 1998: The Protection of Children Act 1999

The Criminal Justice and Court Service Act 2000: The Children Act 2004: The Protection of Vulnerable

Groups Act 2006: The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012

9. POLICY REVIEW

The organisers will constantly review their policy revising and enhancing it as necessary. In doing this

they will look to The British and International Federation of Festivals for support and that body, in turn


will look to other agencies for good practice, most notably the NSPCC and Arts Council of England policy Guidelines

10. FESTIVAL CONTACTS

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY STATEMENT

The Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts is committed to an equal opportunities policy in respect of

all aspects of its activities and functions.

We actively promote equality for all with the right mix of talent, skill and potential, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability or illness, religion or beliefs (this is

Our Equal Opportunities Policy has been developed to ensure that all users of the Festival are fully aware of our commitment to provide equal opportunities in all our activities and functions.

Furthermore, the Festival will monitor the implementation and application of our Equal Opportunities

Policy and ensure that it reflects and meets the needs of the increasingly diverse community, which we seek to serve. A copy of our complete policy is available from the Secretary or website.

individuals in order to successfully run the Festival. The Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts ensures that personal information is treated lawfully and correctly. To this end, the Cheltenham Festival

responsibilities in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Information will not be given to third

parties without the prior consent of the individual (or their guardian). Any requests to access information held by the Festival must be made in writing and will be dealt with promptly by the Data

Protection Officer.

automatic doors.
