Illness: Making Rainbows believes that babies and young children should be immunized, and you warrant that the child/ren in your care will not attend if they are unwell, including communicable, contagious or notifiable illnesses. Under the current Public Health Act 2005, this legislation does not make immunisation mandatory and does not force a service to refuse enrolment or attendance of children whose immunisation status are not up-to-date.

If your child exhibits vomiting, diarrhea, has an excessive rash, a persistent cough or green runny nose or obvious contagious conditions, such as head lice or conjunctivitis or a fever over a certain temperature (typically 38C), please refrain from attending Making Rainbows sessions. Bringing other unwell children or siblings, who have been kept home from school to a Making Rainbows class is also not permitted. 

Accidents: Making Rainbows Pty Ltd takes no responsibility for personal loss or injury sustained during the session. As you are present in class with your child, you remain responsible for the safety of yourself and your child/ren, relinquishing Making Rainbows Pty Ltd of any liability. 

Cancellation of classes: Making Rainbows endeavours to run every class we have committed to! However should we need to cancel a class, parents will be contacted by email and/or text. Making Rainbows reserves the right to cancel classes without refund in exceptional circumstances beyond our control i.e. unpredictable storms and bad weather, the sudden closure of a leased venue (meaning a hired location not controlled or owned by Making Rainbows Pty Ltd), other varied cases of emergency, or unforeseen unavailability of a staff member. 

If class enrolments are not enough to operate at a venue due to unforeseen drop-outs or client shuffling, we can also cancel the session mid-term. 

Client Confidentiality and Privacy: Please note that Making Rainbows Pty Ltd do use images and photos taken during class on our Facebook Page and other media. This is only once full consent and permission of the parent/Guardian has been given, in writing via a signature form provided in class. 

Trial Classes: A trial session may only be reserved pending enrolment numbers and availability. Trial spaces are not considered as ‘secure’ and if a full term client wants to enrol for the full term in the interim, they will receive priority. Trial spaces cannot be guaranteed during long mid-term breaks (during the 6 week holiday between December until January), as spaces fill fast and clients wishing to enrol for a full term enrolment will receive priority. 

Sensory items & allergies: Examples of sensory items used in class i.e Oates, non-toxic glues, food colouring, synthetic hay and grass etc are sometimes used. Please let the teacher know if your child has any specific allergies. Making Rainbows Pty Ltd takes no responsibility for personal loss or injury sustained during the session. We also ask that parent’s refrain from consuming nuts within the confines of the classroom and while other children are present. You remain responsible for the safety of yourself and your child/ren, relinquishing Making Rainbows Pty Ltd of any liability. 

Abusive Behaviour: Should a client exhibit any behaviour that may be considered as intimidating, threatening or offensive, whether this be over the phone, in class, towards a teacher or another client, their enrolment will be forfeited immediately and a life-time ban from Making Rainbows implemented. We will not tolerate any aggressive language, raising of voice or disrespect to our colleagues or clients.

With any pre-recorded or live class, you (the user) will have to take more responsibility than usual for the safety of your space and of your movements.

Please make sure you have at least two metres clear space around you, that the floor is clear of any objects or spills, and the surface is appropriate. Where possible, ensure webcams are in a communal space like a living room – rather than a bedroom.

Ensure you have the volume set high so that you can hear the instructions. If possible be lit from in front rather than behind, e.g. close curtains if dancing in front of a window. Make sure your device isn’t in danger of being knocked.

Facebook LIVE Classes – Your sound will be off when you join. You will be able to hear your teacher, but they will not be able to hear you. Your teacher will decide when to bring your sound on. If you have a question, please type a message via your device

If a movement or action causes sharp or sudden pain, stop immediately, apply first aid or seek help from your parents. Advise your teacher as soon as possible. Because of the online format your actions (especially for pre-recorded material) are unsupervised by your teacher so please make your own judgements, as you know your own body better than anyone.

Have any pets or young siblings in another space to avoid sudden tripping hazards.

The use of any information provided in these online classes is solely at the risk of the participant. By continuing to utilise online classes, participants affirm that they are in good physical condition, and no restrictions have been placed upon them for participating in dance, or movement

If the supervising teacher deems it unsafe for a client to participate in the class, they must withdraw from it immediately and contact a medical professional.

Clients may need to re-arrange a space to allow maximum movement.

If the teacher deems the client’s space unsafe they will be privately contacted and asked to cease dancing until a safe space can be identified and utilized.

Making Rainbows Pty Ltd will continue to implement all safeguarding policies that apply to dance class participants be it in person or online, as well as reporting an incident witnessed if required. Scenarios to report might include:

A child inappropriately dressed, or in a state of undress on camera

A client that makes inappropriate comments on camera or who makes a disclosure on camera

Anything else you might witness that raises concerns regarding abuse (including, but not limited to: the behaviour of another individual in the home that is witnessed on camera, something you can see in the room that raises a safeguarding concern such as drug paraphernalia)

Making Rainbows Pty Ltd wish to highlight that online classes will be recorded. We will be retaining the recording for a period of up to thirty-six (36) months as per insurance requirements.
