What is the Concern Form?

Our Concern Form is designed for anyone who engages with NSCD to provide us with feedback.

This form has been built by the Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EEDI) Committee, to provide a space for individuals to inform NSCD of any micro-aggressions they may experience, or any other feedback they wish to communicate. Micro-aggressions are subtle, often unintentional, forms of prejudice, for example an offhand comment, an inadvertently painful joke, or a pointed insult.

Who can complete the form?

We invite anyone from the following groups to complete this form:

Staff, including those on ongoing contracts, employed through agencies, self-employed and guest artists, volunteers and prospective staff
Students, including those in higher education, pre-vocational training, taking part in learning and participation activities, prospective students and alumni
Partners, including organisations, dance companies, artists and contractors
Audience, including any member of the public viewing any performances connected to us, either on- or off-site
Communities, including members of the public and those belonging to artistic/dance communities

What next?

The content we receive from these forms helps us to understand any unconscious or implicit bias taking place. It informs necessary action and allows us to better understand issues within our community. All concerns will be logged and appropriately actioned, and this information will be reported and monitored by the EEDI Committee, who meet 3 times a year.

Any information you provide will remain private and confidential, unless we believe there is a serious safety or welfare concern.
