Effective Date: 1st February 2024
At The Dance Spot Clacton on Sea, we value a safe and respectful environment for all participants. This Anti Bullying Policy outlines our commitment to preventing and addressing bullying in all forms within our school community.
This policy applies to all students, staff, and visitors. It covers all forms of bullying, including verbal, physical, and online behaviors.
Bullying is defined as any unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. This may include teasing, name-calling, physical assaults, and cyberbullying.
The Dance Spot Clacton on Sea is dedicated to fostering respect, inclusivity, and dignity. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bullying and will take immediate action to address any incidents.
We encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses bullying to report the incident to a trusted staff member. Reports can be made confidentially, ensuring that your concerns are heard.
All reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. Based on our findings, appropriate disciplinary actions and support measures will be implemented to ensure a safe environment.
We provide training sessions, workshops, and signposting to promote a positive, safe, and inclusive learning atmosphere. Our staff is trained to recognise and address bullying behaviours early on.
Every member of our community plays a role in upholding this policy. Staff are expected to model respectful behaviour, while students are encouraged to support one another and report any concerns.
This policy is reviewed regularly to ensure its effectiveness. We welcome feedback from our community to continuously improve our practices.
If you have any questions or need further assistance regarding this policy, please contact us at hello@thedancespot.uk or visit us at The Dance Spot, 6 Tower Estate, Clacton-on-Sea, CO16 8NG, United Kingdom.
