From plays, musicals, revues, concerts and pantomimes, the Players have turned their hand at it all over their almost 80 year history - and continue to do so today. The group has always prided itself in its diverse mix of cast members, some of which have been part of the group for several decades. The Studio Players have an open door policy, and unlike most amateur theatre companies, do not require new members to audition to be part of the group. This approach opens up the stage to people from all walks of life, and the group has attracted, supported and retained many members who have special educational needs and disabilities, who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to perform. •Developing and implementing safeguarding policies and procedures within the group.•Ensuring compliance with relevant safeguarding legislation and regulations.•Providing guidance and support to group leaders and members on safeguarding matters.•Facilitating safeguarding training and awareness sessions for group members.•Maintaining accurate records of safeguarding concerns and incidents.•Acting as a point of contact for reporting safeguarding concerns.•Handling confidential information with discretion and maintaining confidentiality.•Keeping up-to-date with developments in safeguarding best practices and sharing relevant updates with the group.
