Extracurricular Activities
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent discussions she has had with British DanceSport Association on the adequacy of safeguarding legislation in protecting children who attend extracurricular activities.
Answered by Josh MacAlister
The department is committed to safeguarding all children from harm, including those attending extracurricular activities.
Last year, we launched a Call for Evidence on Safeguarding in Out-of-School Settings to better understand current practice and invite views on approaches to strengthen safeguards further. To supplement analysis of the Call for Evidence, we have continued to engage with key stakeholders, including British Dancesport Association, to help inform next steps.
