Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults

The Medau Society takes seriously its moral and legal responsibility to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from abuse and our aim is to ensure that all participants are kept safe from harm and enjoy the positive benefits of all exercise, movement and dance related activities.
