Safeguarding Policy & DBS Checks

Safeguarding Policy

At KJ Folk Music and KJ Ceilidhs, we’re committed to running ceilidhs that are safe, inclusive, and respectful for everyone.

• Kathryn Johnstone holds an Enhanced DBS certificate — certificate details available on request.

• We regularly work with families, schools, and vulnerable groups, and take safeguarding seriously at every level.

• Some ceilidh dances involve physical contact. Our callers are trained to be sensitive and inclusive, using clear language such as:
  “Please check your partner is happy with this and get their consent.”

• Dances are always adapted to suit the group, and participants are free to opt in or out as they feel comfortable.

If your event has specific safeguarding requirements, we’re happy to accommodate—just let us know.
