Environmental Policy
The Arts Circus is committed to achieving its objectives and purposes in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. It aims to minimise any adverse impact on the environment from its activities and to improve continuously its environmental performance.

In particular, the Arts Circus will:

recognise its responsibilities to reduce waste and to promote recycling and the use of recycled materials, whilst reducing its consumption of materials wherever possible, implement environmentally friendly transport plans, aiming to reduce the impact on the environment from road congestion and pollution by using public transport or car sharing-schemes wherever possible.
Conduct an annual self-evaluation of our performance in implementing these principles.

Child Protection Policy
The Arts Circus believes that it is always unacceptable for a child or young person to experience abuse of any kind and recognises its responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all children and young people, by a commitment to practice which protects them. We recognise that the welfare of the child/young person is paramount and our child protection policy, was developed using the NSPCC's First Check system. The policy applies to all staff, including senior mangers and the Board of Directors, or anyone working on behalf of The Arts Circus. We are also committed to reviewing our policy and good practice annually.

Outreach work
The Arts Circus is committed to bringing its events to the whole community, especially to those for whom music and the arts rarely feature in their daily lives. Working with a hugely experienced team of musicians and artists of the highest calibre we create workshops, projects and concerts to positively impact and enrich people's lives.
