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.
