Adore Dance Ltd - Safeguarding

Last Updated: 8th March 2023

​

What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

Safeguarding means:

  • protecting children from abuse and maltreatment

  • preventing harm to children’s health or development

  • ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care

  • taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.

​

Our Approach

Adore Dance Ltd takes an active approach to child safety and wellbeing in some of the following ways:

  • Parent/Guardian contact details will be kept on hand in case of any emergency

  • We make the environment as safe as possible for children and young people

  • Children are properly supervised by the right people as all our teachers & support staff are required to go through enhanced DBS checks prior to attending class. Where guest teachers are used, there will always be at least one DBS checked adult present following the relevant legislation and guidance for child performers.

  • We have a strict & active approach against bullying and endeavour to work closely with Parent/Guardian(s) to prevent and deal with this if it does arise

  • Where possible, Parent/Guardian(s) are permitted to stay with young people during class

  • Parent/Guardian(s) must stay with young people who are not toilet trained

Adore Dance Ltd - Terms & Conditions 

Last Updated: 8th March 2023

​

Booking of Trial Classes

  • A booking, or as we call a "Trial Class," is a one-off booking for a particular class

  • This is only available to first-time students 

  • Due to high demand, regular class attendance is only available via a Weekly Member

  • After your trial class, you will have 48 hours to decide if you would like to join as a Weekly Class Member

  • Our cancellation period is 7 days prior to the class to receive a full refund

 

Subscriptions as a Weekly Member​

  • A Subscription/Plan, or "Weekly Member" as we call it, secures a space in the weekly class by automatically taking payment and booking your session before each class.

  • If payments fail to go through, your membership is automatically placed into a "grace period" for 24 hours and you will be notified via email. If you do not update your payment method within 24 hours, your class membership is cancelled and we may pass your space onto someone else on the waiting list.

  • If payments fail to go through regularly, we may ask you to start paying for a group of classes at once

  • Members may take up to two weeks break at any time by letting us know via email with 7 days notice. Membership cannot be paused for more than 2 weeks in 6 weeks. Exceptions in special circumstances can be made by emailing us.

  • If for whatever reason members need to reduce their subscription (e.g. from 3 weekly classes to 2 weekly classes), Adore Dance is unable to manually alter the amount taken, even with written notice. Members will be sent a new membership link to sign up for the updated membership. Failure to update a membership will result in the old membership payments continuing until the updated membership is confirmed. Adore Dance is not responsible for refunding overcharged payments if members fail to update their membership using the link provided.

  • If for whatever reason members need to upgrade their subscription (e.g. from 2 weekly classes to 3 weekly classes), Adore Dance is unable to manually alter the amount taken, even with written notice. Members will be sent a new membership link to sign up for the updated membership. Failure to update a membership using the link provided will result in payments being sent manually under our standard payment terms.

  • Our cancellation period is 7 days prior to your next class to cancel the membership

​

Booking a Private Lesson

  • A private lesson is a 1:1 class (or sometimes 1:2 class) tailored to the individual needs of the student(s), these are booked by emailing info@adoredance.london

  • Adore Dance works closely with venue partners but is liable for cancellation fees with short notice, as a 1:1 class, these cannot be recouped from other customers attending the class. 

  • Our teachers are full-time dance professionals with calendars booking several weeks in advanced, a short notice cancellation will mean they are unable to work and be paid for that session which could've been filled with another customer

  • Our cancellation period for private lessons are:

    • Rothbury Road Location - 7 days notice required for 100% refund

    • Monier Works Location - 3 weeks notice required for 100% refund, 1 week notice required for 50% refund

You as an Adult Student or as your child’s parent or guardian, it is your responsibility to: 

  • Notify us of any medical conditions that you/your child has 

  • Ensure that all medications for you/your child are brought along to classes

  • [Children Classes only] Ensure that your emergency contact details are up to date 

  • We aim to make our classes available to all. We ask that you notify us before booking a class or trial if you or your child needs any additional support. This will allow us to discuss your child’s needs. Please note we cannot provide one to one support.

  • We will only share your or your child’s information with staff & contractors of Adore Dance Ltd​

​​

Membership Cancellations & Refunds

  • Cancellations made with more than 7 days notice are fully refunded

  • Cancellations made within 7 days are non-refundable, this includes sickness and no-show

  • Private lessons may have alternative arrangements, depending on location, see points above. 

​

Third-Party Booking Websites, e.g. ClassPass

  • Third-party booking websites allow you to book our classes, subject to availability

  • Students are required to "Check In" on arrival confirming their attendance and agreeing to our Health Declaration and T&Cs. On arrival, students are shown a QR code to scan on their phone to complete a check-in form, we also have devices available if needed. This can also be completed in advance >here<

  • A student may be refused entry to class without a refund if they do not agree to our T&Cs

  • Adore Dance is not responsible for the cancellation and other policies of the third-party booking website

  • Third-party bookings are for first-time customers only. After the first class, students will be invited to join a class membership or book ad-hock directly (subject to availability)
