TS Training Academies is fully committed to the principles and practices of equal opportunities. We believe that widening participation and life-long learning are an integral part of our purpose and therefore strive to create an environment in which all forms of prejudice and discrimination will not be tolerated.

Dancers are supported to achieve their maximum potential, irrespective of gender, race, age, culture, social class, disability, sexuality or sexual orientation.

TS Academies accepts that there is a need for an equal opportunity policy to ensure that individuals and groups of individuals are not disadvantaged on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, creed, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.

No student or staff member should receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of the above, and no conditions should be imposed that cannot be justified on work or educationally related grounds.

Regular monitoring will ensure that selection and promotion are carried out solely on the bases of their relevant aptitude, qualifications, skills, abilities and experiences.

Every member of staff and every student have a responsibility to ensure that equal opportunity is part of the culture of the Company. Staff and management have a specific duty to actively promote equal opportunities within the Company.

TS Training Academies is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where all dancers can thrive and reach their full potential, free from discrimination and prejudice.
