Every child and young person participating in Dance & Performing Arts deserves to feel safe, respected, included, and supported.

As educators and leaders, we play an important role in shaping not only artistic development, but also confidence, wellbeing, identity, and lifelong experiences for the young people in our care.

📍 Sydney Dance Company, Walsh Bay
📅 Friday 14 August 2026
🕘 9:00am – 5:00pm

Yet many studio owners and teachers have never received formal education or professional development in:
✓ Child safeguarding
✓ Recognising and responding to risk
✓ Managing disclosures or concerns
✓ Creating child-centred organisational cultures
✓ Understanding best-practice expectations for child-safe environments

As expectations around safeguarding and organisational responsibility continue to evolve, the Creative Childhoods Summit aims to bridge the gap by bringing together industry professionals and national experts to share practical strategies, meaningful insights, and real-world guidance relevant to Dance & Performing Arts education.

More than compliance, this summit is about strengthening leadership, culture, accountability, and our collective responsibility to create safer, healthier environments for children and young people.

Join us as we begin an important conversation about the future of our industry.
