West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 16 March 2007
 
Care for young artists

• DOESN’T Equity care about children and young people? A motion proposed by Equity councillor Teri Scoble, to endorse the Council for Dance Education and Training’s new Recognised School Status (RSS) mark failed at the Equity London Area AGM, this week.
Early this year this brand new benchmark was born. It was created as a mark of recognition for pre-vocational and non-vocational dance and musical theatre schools.
The RSS mark is a sign that a school meets the standards and requirements and shows that child protection policies are in place and that all staff are Criminal Records Bureau checked. Why doesn’t Equity want to endorse the RSS Mark?
It seems to me that Equity is not interested in this mark, because the union does not represent children.
Equity needs to show it cares.
