At PQA, the safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities. We follow comprehensive safeguarding procedures to create a secure environment where every child feels supported, valued, and protected. All PQA staff members undergo enhanced DBS checks and receive specialized training in safeguarding to ensure they understand and adhere to best practices. This includes identifying potential risks, responding to concerns, and maintaining clear, respectful boundaries with students at all times.
We also maintain robust policies around health and safety, ensuring our facilities are safe, accessible, and welcoming. Clear protocols are in place for sign-in and sign-out procedures, so we always know who is in our care, and children are supervised during every activity. Our academies encourage open communication, so students feel comfortable voicing any concerns, and parents are kept informed about our policies and practices.
In addition, we regularly review and update our safeguarding measures to stay in line with current standards and recommendations, working closely with external experts when necessary. At PQA, we believe that a safe, nurturing environment allows children to flourish, explore their creativity, and develop their confidence on stage and beyond.
