LEARNER AGREEMENT

Thank you for choosing The Stylistlers Children and Youth/Urban Short Cuts/Big Peoples Project for your child's dramatic arts education! We are thrilled to have them as part of our growing family and look forward to an exciting and enriching experience together.

As per our discussion, here is the Learner Agreement that outlines our expectations and policies for all participants, including parents and guardians, to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone.

1. **Attendance and Punctuality:** We understand that life can be unpredictable, but we kindly ask that you make every effort to ensure your child attends each session punctually. Classes begin at 6:30 pm, and the doors will lock at 6:45 pm for safety reasons. If you know your child will be late or unable to attend, please notify Lorna Blackman via email at lorna.blackman61@gmail.com or through a text message at 07752197980.

2. **Class Conduct:** We expect all children to behave in a respectful and courteous manner towards their peers and teachers. Any form of bullying or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

3. **Health and Safety:** We are committed to providing a safe space for all participants. The teaching room will be set up to adhere to health and safety standards, and we will keep you informed of any specific requirements for certain activities.

4. **Learning Environment:** We strive to create an environment where all children feel comfortable and supported in their artistic endeavors. We kindly request that all mobile phones and other electronic devices be turned off during class time to minimize distractions.

5. **Food and Drink:** To maintain a clean and safe space, we ask that no food or drink, except for water in a sealable container, is brought into the classroom.

6. **Chewing Gum:** For the safety of all our learners, chewing gum is strictly prohibited during lessons.

7. **Personal Belongings:** While we will do our best to ensure the security of personal items, we recommend labeling all possessions and encourage children to keep their belongings with them at all times. The Stylistlers cannot be held responsible for any lost or stolen items.

8. **Exams and Feedback:** Your child will be prepared for their LAMDA exam, and we will keep you informed of their progress. Feedback will be provided in a constructive and positive manner to help them improve and grow as performers.

9. **Communication:** Regular updates will be sent via email regarding class schedules, special events, and any changes that may arise. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lorna Blackman.

10. **Parental Involvement:** We believe that a strong partnership between parents and the group is essential for a child's success. We encourage you to attend any performances and support your child in their learning journey.

11. **Safeguarding:** In line with our commitment to safeguarding, we have implemented additional measures to ensure the well-being of all children. This includes a locked door policy after 6:45 pm. For the safety of all, we ask that you lock the entrance door when you enter the venue.

12. **Photography and Video:** Occasionally, we may take photographs or videos for promotional purposes or to document the children's progress. If you do not consent to your child's image being used, please inform us in writing.

13. **Exams:** The LAMDA exams are a wonderful opportunity for children to showcase their talents and gain valuable qualifications. We will work closely with you to prepare them for this exciting event.
