What do you do when a dancer, parent, or colleague comes to you with a report of a socially unsafe situation at your dance location? How do you ensure that you respond carefully, clearly, and safely for everyone involved?
To support dance organizations, Dans Veilig has developed a practical step-by-step guide. This document provides clear guidance for addressing reports of transgressive behavior or unsafe situations, specifically tailored to the dance environment.
The guide helps you to:
• Thoroughly assess the report
• Clarify what the reporter expects from you
• Communicate appropriately with those involved
• Choose a suitable follow-up action
• Seek external support if needed
Follow the decision tree
The guide also includes a practical decision tree to follow when a report comes in. It helps you quickly understand what is needed and what route to take.
Whether it involves a conversation, mediation, or a more serious situation requiring concrete measures, this guide supports you in responding professionally, empathetically, and clearly.
Please note: the step-by-step guide is currently only available in Dutch.
