- Safeguarding Policy - Amended in 2013

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, Safeguarding Co-ordinator, 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, 17 Allan Drive, Forres, IV36 2JX [email protected] 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 An Admission Card, along with a copy of the Safeguarding Policy, will be sent out to the applicant (responsible adult) whose signature is on the Entry Forms received. The Policy makes it

clear that when the applicant is not personally in attendance, then this Policy requires them to be satisfied that their child/children or vulnerable adult(s) will be accompanied and supervised by

another responsible adult on their behalf at the time.

5

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; The Protection of

Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. 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.

GROUP PRESENTATION – PRIMARY 299. Primary!Group!Story!Telling!

Time limit 10 minutes (flexibility up to a maximum of 12 minutes will be allowed but NO LONGER). In this class the object is to involve the whole class or a large group, not selected children. The method of ‘story telling’ can be interpreted very flexibly. Costumes, props, live or recorded music, singing, dance, mime or instrumental groups may be used, but are not essential. This is a stage presentation. Scripts of published plays may not be used.

300. Primary!Group!Talks!on!Subject!of!Own!Choice Time limit 15 minutes. This is a presentation by means of speech (with or without notes) designed to show enjoyment in communication. It is given by a group of children and its subject may well

arise from whatever theme is currently being studied by the class. Diagrams, paintings and models may be used but these are not essential. The assessment will be made on the group’s ability to

communicate by speech and they should be prepared to talk about their presentation with the adjudicator.
