Over the past two days, our Chair Melanie Gard and Board Member Jemma Powys attended the Safeguarding Children and Young People Conference hosted by @thehatcheryhub in partnership with @napcan_australia.

We are proud to endorse this valuable event, and thank The Hatchery and NAPCAN for the opportunity to have valuable discussions and make great connections towards our shared goal of child safety. It was fantastic to have Melanie as a panelist, which was a great platform to have the voice of our industry heard.

We look forward to continuing to represent dance and performing arts education organisations in national conferences.

While social media is great for celebrating student wins and marketing our studios, it’s important to ensure children are safe from online predators.
