TDCI EVENTS – UPDATE
Dear Members,
Please note the below form and information supplied by TDCI, with regards to TDCI events. This information is provided to ensure all specifications are adhered to at all of their competitions held under the jurisdiction of Lancashire Council – namely The British Championships, The English Championships, The Champion of Champions and The World Performer.
For any queries, please contact Diana Freedman – dianafreedman@hotmail.co.uk, or TDCI directly.
Notice from TDCI President –
The TDCI have been instructed by Lancashire Council to provide details of Chaperones at the above event.
The Chaperone can of course be the child’s parent or guardian ( which we can advise ), but if you have Chaperones in your school who have an official Chaperone license, I would appreciate it if you can advise me their name and details of the expiry date and the authority that approved the Chaperone.
This would help us greatly in obtaining the BOPA license required.
The form for you to complete these details is attached. Please forward to me by 1st July 2025. I then have to consolidate all the details and Lancashire County Council will be visting during the event. All children under 16 MUST have a chaperone at all times in the theatre.
A chaperone with an approved licence can chaperone up to 12 children, but each child MUST have a chaperone, especially in the dressing rooms. Anyone with an approved chaperone license will be an asset.
No girls will be allowed in the boys dressing room or boys in any girls dressing room. This rule must be strictly adhered to. Please ensure your students understand this rule.
The teacher also needs to have a register of their children attending with emergency contact numbers. Also check their pupils are fit to perform at the event.
Please ensure the student registers on arrival at the registration desk. This ensures the child is registered and is in the venue, however if they leave the building at lunchtime etc they should let their teacher know so we are aware.
The above is all to ensure the safety of the children attending and we need to have everything in place for this and future events.
Many thanks,
BATD Head Office
