CHILD PROTECTION POLICY STATEMENT
Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts believes that no child or young person should ever experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and practise in a way that protects them.
CFPA recognises that the welfare of children is paramount and that, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, they have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse. Furthermore, CFPA believes that some children and young people are additionally vulnerable because of their level of dependency or their communication needs and that working in partnership with their parents, teachers and carers is essential in guaranteeing their welfare.
CFPA will seek to keep children and young people safe by practising a range of measures to ensure a safe environment at its Festivals for children and young people. These measures are fully set out in CFPA’s Child protection Policy which can be seen in full on CFPA’s website.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY STATEMENT
The Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts is committed to provide equal opportunity for everyone to participate in its affairs and contribute to its objectives. The Festival does not discriminate on the grounds of age, disability, gender, marital status, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or any other unlawful reason.
This commitment extends to every aspect of the Festival’s operation and applies to all performers, volunteers, sponsors, and suppliers.
The principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunities also apply to the way in which the Festival treats visitors and members of the public
