Advice of the committee
The recommendation of the Ethics Committee for Dance will be based on:
- documents requested from the candidates (VOG, resume, cover letter, references and a declaration of interests);
- a social media check on several related topics (expressions about the dance industry and ethical and integrity issues);
- an individual and confidential interview with the candidates to explore their motives, role beliefs, moral convictions and any vulnerabilities;
- a public reference check: candidates’ names are posted on the Alliance Dance Safe website for four weeks, with the opportunity to send a response to the nomination via email to the ethics committee at ethischecommissiedansen@minocw.nl before March 12, 2025.

How can you respond?
You can send an email about an intended participant to: ethischecommissiedansen@minocw.nl before March 12, 2025.
Good to know:
- Your email will be kept confidential.
- The information will be considered as part of the advice the Ethics Committee for Dance will provide the Minister of OCW (for the intended members of the Follow-up Committee for Dance) and to the Alliance Dance Safe (for the intended participants in the steering committee and expert groups).
- The content of anonymous responses are more difficult to verify and therefore will be less likely to be considered by the committee in forming an opinion.
- Responses with outspoken opinions about a person, but in which no concrete examples or experiences are mentioned, are more difficult to verify and will therefore be less likely to be considered by the committee when forming an opinion.
- If a response raises (serious) questions about the integrity or credibility of the person in question, inquiries will always be made, if possible, with the person who submitted the response in order to determine the motives of the submitter and the background to the response and thus to estimate the reliability of a response.
- The committee may decide that for the interpretation of reactions, it is necessary to ask the intended committee member or the intended participant in the steering committee and/or expert group what the reason and nature of the reaction(s) in question may be and how that person views it.
