Safeguarding & Policies

Our commitment

OHB Music takes the safety and wellbeing of everyone who rehearses, performs or attends events with us seriously — especially children and young people. A professional, safe, well-run environment is one of the reasons people choose to join us, and we treat it accordingly.

What we do

• Every adult working with under-18s — tutors, Musical Directors, chaperoning volunteers — is DBS-checked before starting.
• A named Safeguarding Officer is available to every member and their family.
• Our full Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy sets out reporting routes, followed by every rehearsal, lesson and concert.
• Public liability and safeguarding insurance is in place from day one.

Reporting a concern

If you have a safeguarding concern about anyone involved with OHB Music, please contact our Safeguarding Officer directly and confidentially atsafeguarding@ohbmusic.org.uk. You do not need to be a member to raise a concern, and this route is accessible from the footer of every page on this site.
