The purpose and scope of this policy statement
The overall aim of Sheffield University Drama Society (SUDS) is to produce and perform plays in a spirit of support, comradeship and education. SUDS is a not-for-profit society.
The purpose of this policy statement is:
- to facilitate the protection of children and young people who participate in, or attend, activities of SUDS;
- to provide society officers and members and all those participating in society productions, including children and young people and their families, with information about our approach to child protection.
This guidance applies primarily to children under 16 who require a licence or a licence exemption from the local authority to perform with us; however SUDS also accepts a duty to be aware of the potential vulnerabilities of 16 – 18 year olds and of any adult deemed to be vulnerable by reason of a physical or mental disability.
