6 CHILD PROTECTION POLICY The British and International Federation of Festivals for Music, Dance and Speech works for amateur festivals everywhere to help create thousands of educational performance opportunities for children and young people each year. The Federation, and our member Festivals, are committed to ensuring safe environments for children and young people and believe that it is always unacceptable for a child or young person to experience abuse of any kind. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people, by a commitment to recommend best practice which protects them. This policy applies to our Board of Trustees, paid staff, Adjudicator members, volunteers, students or anyone working on behalf of the Federation and our member Festivals. We recognise that: the welfare of the child/young person is paramount all children, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse working in partnership with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting young people s welfare. The purpose of the policy: to provide protection for the children and young people who participate in our festivals, including the children of festival members to provide staff and volunteers with guidance on procedures they should adopt in the event that they suspect a child or young person may be experiencing, or be at risk of, harm We will seek to safeguard children and young people by: valuing them, listening to and respecting them adopting child protection guidelines through procedures and safe working practice for staff and volunteers recruiting staff and volunteers safely, ensuring all necessary checks are made sharing information about child protection and safe working practice with children, parents, staff and volunteers sharing information about concerns with agencies who need to know, and involving parents and children appropriately providing effective management for staff and volunteers through supervision, support and training. The Federation will review this policy each year in November in line with Safe Network guidance or sooner in light of any changes in legislation or guidance. All changes will be communicated to our member Festivals in time for the start of the new Festival year. CREATING SAFER FESTIVALS FOR EVERYONE The Federation and its member Festivals use the following policies and procedures to create Safer Festivals for everyone: 1. A single, definitive Child Protection Policy adopted by all Federation Festivals. 2. One or more designated Festival Safeguarding Officers (FSO) appointed for each Federation Festival.

7 6. For the duration of the Festival all teachers/parents/guardians/carers are responsible for the continuous care and supervision of their own children/pupils/vulnerable adults. If they are unable to attend personally, they must delegate their responsibilities to an identified adult and ensure that their children/pupils/vulnerable adults are aware of the identity and name of the person responsible for their care. This includes supervision throughout all Festival venues, performance, practice and changing areas that may be provided. 7. No unauthorised photography or video recording is allowed at our Festivals. Where parents/guardians/carers do not wish photos to be taken at all, then the responsible adult attending should ensure that their child/pupil/vulnerable adult is not included in official authorised photos. 8. Some children and vulnerable adults may have specific needs in order to take part. If this is the case we ask the responsible teachers/parents/guardians/carers to contact the Festival prior to arrival. The Festival actively seeks wherever possible to meet these needs, but must know beforehand in order to prepare support or to advise that help cannot be provided on this occasion. 9.

For a time he was also voice coach to undergraduate students at The College of Ripon and York St John who were experiencing difficulties in the classroom situation. He became an examiner for The English Speaking Board and The Poetry Society and also enjoyed adjudicating at many festivals throughout the country. In April 1985 he was appointed to the headship of a primary school in Derbyshire, which inevitably meant less time for examining and adjudicating. It was during this time that he also became a a Religious Education inspector for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hallam. Since retiring from headship in July 2007, he has been appointed as an examiner for the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and has resumed work as a Adjudicator Member of the British and International Federation of Festivals. Whilst he enjoyed headship very much indeed, he is delighted once again to be part of a creative rather than bureaucratic world. When not examining or adjudicating, Stephen s leisure time consists of seeing as many plays and operas as possible and teaching his young grandchildren to swim. CAROL SCHRODER LLAM, AISTD, PGCE, MSTSD From an early age Carol trained in all aspects of performing arts including drama, dance and singing. She worked in the professional theatre, television and in cabaret where she produced her own one woman show.

Carol has been an examiner for LAMDA for 36 years both in the UK and overseas. She has written and contributed to several LAMDA text books and is actively involved in the setting of the various syllabuses. Carol is a long standing member of The British and International Federation of Festivals adjudicating throughout the UK and overseas and currently sits on the adjudicator s council. Carol enjoys teaching young children where English is their second language and those with special needs. She also lectures on presentational skills to adults in commerce and industry and served as a trustee of Voice Care Network UK a charity promoting care of the voice in the workplace. Carol is pleased to see a number of her past pupils achieving success on the West End stage, in BBC and other television productions and the film industry and indeed taking up careers as teachers themselves.

Most recently he performed the role of Governor Albert Frank in Die Fledermaus at the Royal Albert Hall in a special gala performance with Kiri te Kanawa and Jose Carreras. Other roles of note have included Papageno, Guglielmo, Tarquinius and Belcore which he has sung for companies such as English Touring Opera, Latvian State Opera, Hermitage Theatre, St Petersburg, and Diva Opera.

10 JOHN POWELL MA(Cantab), Cert Ed, ARCM Born in London and educated at Cambridge University, John Powell has spent much of his life in Manchester. His musical activities have always centred around choirs and singers and he devotes his time to conducting, singing and teaching. Until 1988 he was Head of Choral Music at Chetham s School of Music. He now teaches privately and at the University of York. He is also very active as a Festival adjudicator. For fifteen years John was Director of the Bolton Chamber Choir as well as a frequent Guest Conductor with Fleetwood Choral Society. His own chamber choir, the John Powell Singers, is heard regularly on BBC Radio and has toured throughout Europe and recently visited Iceland.

More recent programmes have featured rare songs by Liszt and Wagner and composers associated with the First World War. ANGELA ROWLEY BA (Hons), PGCE, ARCM, MISM Angela, a graduate in German from University College, London, followed a career in teaching before embarking on voice training with Keiran McNiff and working subsequently with many eminent teachers including the late Paul Hamburger. Angela s first experiences of public performance were at school, at Music Festivals and in choral societies. She encourages her pupils to enter festivals for the opportunity to perform, hear peers and receive professional critique. Her hopes are that the experience will be challenging, educational and fun! She performs regularly in recital, concert and oratorio and has an extensive repertoire. She loves to sing Lieder, chansons and especially 20 th century English song. Angela directs and conducts Harmony '96, a large ad hoc choir which performs major oratorios twice a year. She is also MD of Eccles Community Choir, enjoying an opportunity to develop the voices of those who were never allowed in the school choir! For several years Angela taught singing in a large comprehensive school and later in a Sixth Form College, where she formed a choir, assisted in the production of musicals and initiated the development of music in the curriculum for students with both mild and severe learning difficulties. She is a firm believer that music is an essential life skill and that no one should be excluded on grounds of ability. Angela s students and choir have featured in Radio 3 s Discovering Music as part of the BBC Philharmonic s Education Programme in the Proms at the Albert Hall. In 2012 a similar project celebrated the Philharmonic s move to Media City. The resulting composition was performed for the Queen on her visit to Salford. Angela has a thriving private practice. She regularly runs performance workshops and master classes and is busy as an adjudicator where she endeavours to encourage performers, drawing on her own love of music and poetry and experience as a performer and teacher. Alongside her singing career Angela runs a charity in Kenya with her husband.
