Child Safety at Beacon Musical Society

Beacon Musical Society (BeaMS) is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people who participate in our productions, workshops, and events.

Our Commitment

BeaMS implements the NSW Child Safe Scheme as administered by the Office of the Children's Guardian. We maintain a child-safe culture where children's safety is embedded in everything we do — from auditions to opening night.

How to Use This Page

The Key Policies section below highlights our most important documents — including our Child Safety Policy and Codes of Conduct. All participants, volunteers, and staff are required to be familiar with these documents.

Supporting documents provide additional procedures, risk assessments, and registers that underpin our child safety program.

Reporting a Concern

If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child involved in a BeaMS production, please contact our Child Safety Officer immediately. You can also report directly to the Office of the Children's Guardian at ocg.nsw.gov.au or to Police if there is immediate risk.


Policies are reviewed annually or following any significant incident. Last policy review: February 2025.

Who to contact

If a child is in immediate danger, call 000. For child protection concerns, contact a Child Safety Officer below first, or call the NSW Child Protection Helpline on 132 111. You will never get in trouble for reporting a concern in good faith.
