Equal Opportunities/Disability Statement
The Centre selects students without regard to race, ethnic origin, gender or sexual orientation. Age and disability are disregarded providing prospective students can demonstrate their capability to complete a physically demanding three year dance training course. The Centre will endeavour to accommodate any student provided that the employment opportunities are relevant to the individual concerned.
The Centre realises that any student who has a disability or learning difficulty may need special consideration or additional support in order to succeed within the course. We recognise these needs are individual and we aim to ensure that all students have the required support.
The Centre employs an academic tutor with Special Educational Needs training to assist class tutors with the delivery of academic units of the F.D.I. and C.D.E. qualifications. This support enables all students the opportunity to gain the full I.S.T.D. teaching qualifications in 3 dance genres. The Special Educational Needs tutor will liaise with staff and parents when individual training programmes are required. However prospective students and their parents/guardians should note The Centre does not have a designated unit dealing with Special Educational Needs.
It may be the case that an individual would endanger his/her personal safety or that of other members of the class and so should be precluded from undertaking the course or particular activity on the grounds of health and safety.
