Approach to Safeguarding

National Centre for Circus Arts takes seriously its duty of care towards children, young and vulnerable people, to ensure the safety of all those who take part in National Centre for Circus Arts activities, both on and off site

Raising concerns

If you have any safeguarding concerns, please raise them with any member of NCCA staff who can put you in touch with our Designated Safeguarding Leads or Officers as appropriate. We will always adhere to our safeguarding and child protection policies and, if applicable, will refer any disclosures or concerns to the relevant authorities.

However, we also recognise that there may be occasions where you wish to escalate an issue beyond NCCA staff, or report an issue anonymously.  You can contact the Chair of the Audit Committee who is a Trustee of NCCA directly via board@nationalcircus.org.uk and your email will only be seen by the Chair of the Audit Committee. Or you can report anonymously using this form, which will be received only by the Chief Operating Officer of NCCA who will then forward the information to the Chair of the Audit Committee.
