If you or your child or someone you know suffered abuse in dancing and need help and someone to listen, you can call the NSPCC national helpline 0808 800 5000 (whole of UK), or for Scotland you can also call Children1st Parent Line 08000 28 22 33. @nspcc @children1st

If you haven’t watched Athlete A you should. The parallels between elite sport and dance sadly there for all to see. Bullying environment created a terrifying opportunity for the worst predator. Protect. Speak out. #law4dance #gymnastalliance #dancersalliance @gympal

Finally watched @athleteafilm and stunned by the strength of the women who spoke out and took the risk to protect the future of other girls. Athletes exist in such a complex web of pressure/power/control which needs to be better understood and addressed

Gretchen Kerr posed an important question stating "Why do we think it's okay for young people to be treated like this in sport?" She notes a teacher would never be permitted to act like that. "It is time we question those normalized practices." #AthleteA #Gymnastalliance

The longer term impacts of abuse should never be forgotten. Whilst reviews and processes push paper and emails, I hope all involved remember the human impact, the real lives damaged. You all are brave!! Keep coming forward. @GympalGB #law4dance #gymnastalliance @ChildrensComm

Did you know unqualified/suspended/expelled teachers of RAD/other dance memberships can still teach their syllabus just not enter candidates for exams. To circumvent they use other teachers for exam entry. How safe is your dance teacher really? @RADheadquarters @CYPCS #law4dance

Safeguarding, we all want to protect our children, but policies don’t really cut it. Do the right thing. Put real protection in place for once @RADheadquarters @uk_sport @ChildrensComm @CYPCS @UNCRC @TheBAC @istd #closetheloop
Mandate Now@mandatenow

@law4dance @uk_sport @Sport_England @DCMS @CommonsDCMS @InquiryCSA Discussing safeguarding (ink on paper) policies alone has little to no value without discussing the holographic legislative foundations. Delivering safeguarding in #RegulatedActivities I.e dance, sport, education &c., is like nailing jelly to a wall - unreliable. /1

Positive steps forward by RAD. Lots to consider. There are many loopholes to close. This only happens when the right people have the right conversations. Get involved. @CYPCS @UNCRC @ChildrensComm #law4dance #stopabuse @itvnews @bbcnews #protectchildren
Royal Academy of Dance@RADheadquarters

@law4dance @CYPCS Hi @law4dance, We'll soon be introducing a register of RAD Teachers to allow parents & students to verify who is registered with us. We're also consulting government & within the sector on what other measures can be brought in. We welcome any suggestions via press@rad.org.uk

UN rights of children into Scottish law. Will it close the loopholes? Can it change law to protect children in dance/sport? Can this be the start of positive change across the UK? We don’t just need safeguarding we need legal change too @ChildrensComm @RADheadquarters #law4dance
law4dance@law4dance

Does incorporation of UNCRC give children who suffered abuse in dance (and other activities) a voice and a right to justice? Will it protect future children from abusers where interpretation of the current system often fails? @CYPCS @COPFS @JoeFitzSNP #law4dance

Infuriating.... how many of you out there feel like you have to constantly prompt those investigating to perform their duty? Surely they know how right? It is their job after all. @GympalGB #gymnastalliance #law4dance #youhadonejob #whereisjanesreply @amytinkler2
Steve Scott@stevescott_itv

The war of words between @amytinkler2 and @BritGymnastics intensifies. Following her open letter to CEO Jane Allen yesterday, Tinkler received a reply from BG's Integrity Director. "Can I ask why you responded when my letter was addressed to JA?"
