Safeguarding has moved from the periphery to the centre of the UK dance sector. Over the past decade, sector-wide conversations have highlighted the urgent need to protect dancers and support their wellbeing. In collaboration with One Dance UK and NIDMS, the University of Birmingham conducted the second national survey of safeguarding and abuse prevention. The results show we are making real strides, but they also reveal where we must focus our energy next.
