The Conservatoire for Dance and Drama (CDD) is committed to tackling racial inequality within its institution. With CDD now winding down, it was agreed that all CDD Schools should commit to a set of principles, broad objectives, overarching actions to meet by November 2022. From this it is recommended that schools implement these actions in the way most suited to their contexts.
The below table outlines the broad principles, as related to the Equality Act 2010, that all CDD Schools should be working within; specific objectives as related to race equality at our institution; a summary of actions to date; proposed additional actions and deadlines. In order to monitor progress, this table will be updated on a semi-regular basis until November 2022.
As part of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama Inclusive Cultures Strategy, the Conservatoire is in the process of developing a series of policies and protocol addressing a range of subjects including: gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and belief, race and ethnicity, mental health and well-being, and disability. These include:
- CDD Mental Health Charter
- Conservatoire Code of Behaviour
- Sexual Misconduct, Harassment and Related Behaviours
- Inclusivity Policies and Protocols:
