Event description
BandSafe is an in-depth training course developed in partnership with the NSPCC and tailored to the challenges you might face in a band or voluntary music-making environment.
Designed to accompany BBE's BandSafe Toolkit, this online course will provide you with up-to-date knowledge in safeguarding procedures and practical support in developing policies for your music group.
Together, the course and toolkit can give you confidence in your safeguarding practices and ensure that your arrangements are in line with national guidance.
What Will The Course Cover?
Content of the course will cover:
- Legislation & guidance
- DBS checks
- Policy writing - BandSafe Toolkit
- Case studies & scenarios
- Child Performance Licensing
