Ethics and Follow-Up Committees
The Minister of Education, Culture, and Science (OCW) and the Secretary of State for Health, Welfare, and Sport (VWS) have decided to establish two committees to follow up on the recommendations from the Schaduwdansen study (May 2023) on misconduct in the dance sector. These are the Ethics Committee for Dance and the Follow-Up Committee for Dance.
Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee advises the alliance and the ministries on ethics and integrity concerning the implementation of the recommendations from the study. They also hold discussions with the potential members of the Follow-Up Committee, the expert groups, and the steering group of the Dans Veilig Alliance on the topic of ethics and integrity. After these discussions, the members will be appointed.
The following members have been appointed to the Ethics Committee:
Follow-Up Committee
The Follow-Up Committee monitors and advises the alliance and the ministries on the progress of implementing the recommendations from the Schaduwdansen report.
The members of the Follow-Up Committee will be appointed once the discussions with the Ethics Committee are complete.
