Ausdance Submission
The national Ausdance network has made a landmark submission for Dance to the National Office for Child Safety in response to its Child Safety Annual Reporting Framework consultation paper.
​
The national Ausdance network has championed ‘Safe Dance’ since 1990. Currently, improving safety in dance environments, particularly for children, is a key priority for the network.
​
The National Office for Child Safety’s proposed child safety annual reporting framework aims to encourage and support organisations through capability building to implement good practice child safety policies and processes to embed cultures that prioritise the best interests of all children.
