MORAY MUSIC FESTIVAL

- Child Protection Policy -

Implemented from January 2006

Preliminary Statement : The safety of children and vulnerable adults is paramount, and all, without exception, have the right to protection from abuse. All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately. All the Charity's volunteers have a responsibility to report concerns.

Purpose and Function of the Moray Music Festival

The object of the festival is to advance, promote and encourage amateur performers in the Arts by providing a platform for performance by musicians, instrumentalists, vocalists, speakers and dancers combined with an educational element provided by professional adjudicators.

The Festival Environment

It is the policy of Moray Music Festival to inform and involve parents, guardians, teachers and carers in partnership with organisers of the event to ensure that the environment provided will, as far as is reasonably practicable, safeguard the welfare of all children. Competing groups should be accompanied by the correct number of supervising adults.

The Moray Music Festival is administered and staffed entirely by volunteers with professional contributions from adjudicators and accompanists.

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 prior to their arrival at the Festival. This should be done by contacting Jenny Doig, Committee Member, Moray Music Festival. In recognising the need of children from minority ethnic groups and children who are disabled, the Festival actively seeks to meet needs notified to the Festival by parents, guardians, teachers and carers.

Contact: Jenny Doig, 23 Duff Avenue, Elgin IV30 1QS Tel: 01343 543919

Festival Personnel

Festival Personnel will be selected and approved by the Executive Committee and for the duration of the Festival it will be mandatory for all committee members and volunteers to wear specific identity badges. Anyone wearing a badge may be approached and will be able to give directions to the appropriate committee member who will deal with any problem. A register will be maintained of all volunteers who will sign in and out each day they are on duty.

Every problem will be treated seriously and will be documented and dated.

Preparation for Attendance at the Festival

There is a reguirement on the Moray Music Festival Entry Form that a signature is given in agreement to abide by the Child Protection Policy.

This is to ensure that parents, guardians and carers NOT personally attending with children, must take full responsibility for ensuring that their children are accompanied and adequately supervised at the Festival by adults approved by them and acting on their behalf.

Performance Areas and Changing Areas

STEWARDS will be in attendance at each Festival venue but will not be responsible for the supervision of competitors. Parents, guardians, teachers and carers must ensure that children or vulnerable adults are adequately supervised in the correct ratio to the number of adults in their care until they are marshalled for performance.

Changing areas for dramatic performances or dance will be single sex. Changing areas will be restricted to competitors, their supervisors (e.g. teacher in charge) and official stewards.

Photographs, Video, Audio and Digital Recording and Press Photography

There will be no photography, video or tape recording of any kind permitted within the venues. Photographers from the local Press will be permitted to photograph performers between or after competitions when parents, guardians, teachers or carers are present to supervise.

The Legislation and Guidance which supports this Policy

The Protection of Children (Scotland) Act 2003; Commissioner for Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2003; The Police Act 1997; Children (Scotland) Act 1995.

Responsibility

The Moray Music Festival is organised by a voluntary Committee which has no statutory responsibility to investigate allegations of child abuse. It has, however, responsibility to refer any concerns regarding the safety of a child to the appropriate agency for investigation. The welfare of the child is paramount at all times. Any concern about a child will be referred to a Committee Member who should take appropriate action. Any such referral will be recorded. In case of an emergency the designated Committee Member will ensure medical attention is received or appropriate agencies alerted. The Police have power to act immediately to protect the child.

Policy Review

The Moray Music Festival Committee will constantly review their policy, improving 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 the Scottish Arts Council policy guidelines.

A FESTIVAL FOR EXCELLENCE

“ All aspects of learning in expressive arts should include opportunities to present and perform, for example through presentation of a short improvised drama to members of the class or performance

of dance or music to parents or in the community. Participation enables children and young people

to experience and enjoy the energy and excitement of performing and presenting for different

audiences and of being part of an audience for others.”

Curriculum for Excellence: Expressive Arts: Principles and Practice

The guidelines for Curriculum for Excellence provide teachers with more flexibility to use their professional expertise and creativity to plan meaningful learning experiences for their pupils.

Moray Music Festival 2012 can be part of these plans and will engage pupils in meaningful learning experiences within Expressive Arts, Literacy and Cross Curricular learning such as appreciation of Scottish Culture and Heritage. It can provide a valuable opportunity to celebrate the success and achievement of young people in Moray.

It is hoped that schools will take up the opportunity to enhance their current curriculum by encouraging pupils and groups to take part in Moray Music Festival. The flexibility of the

Curriculum for Excellence means that preparation for the festival can now be an integral part

of the curriculum rather than an extra. It is hoped that teachers will consider the Festival as an opportunity to deliver the new curriculum when planning for the 2011/2012 session. Not only

does it provide an excellent context for the experiences outlined in the Curriculum for Excellence

but also an opportunity for Young People to engage with their local community in a setting outside

the classroom.

Moray Music Festival

“The object is wy‚¢¨¯²³·¼½ÎÏ | ! " = not to gain a prize, or defeat a rival;

but to pace one another on the road to excellence.”
