- Reporting concerns as required.
5. Inclusion Policy
We welcome all students but require 'advance disclosure' of additional needs (medical/behavioural) to assess reasonable adjustments. Undisclosed needs affecting safety/group dynamics may result in withdrawal.

Fleet school, one month's notice in an email to matthewbearne@hotmail.com 1:1 sessions, one weeks notice and a £10 admin fee for each remaining lesson, will be deducted from the remaining balance.
Child Performance Compliance
Workshops are over 4 days but to remain compliant with the '4-day rule', there will be a day of screen acting exercises as we can only have 3 days of filming, as this is classified as 'performance days' under UK law.

- Paid upfront; late cancellations follow class policy.
8. Data & Media
- Personal data is kept confidential (unless safeguarding requires disclosure).
