In 2005, the Arts Education Policy Review published the first paper on dancer maltreatment (Lakes,2005). Since this time, there have been advancements in empirical research within the global dancelandscape (Papaefstathiou et al., 2013; Moola & Khran, 2018; Kauffman, 2019; Milne et al., 2023, 2024;Wensel et al., 2024; Aujla et al., 2025). Whilst there have been advancements in empirical research inthe global dance landscape, there remains an absence of research investigating the prevalence ofdancer maltreatment. Whilst there has been a shift towards a proactive approach in the furtherance ofresearch, there remains an absence of public policy development and implementation to safeguarddancer welfare (Tidmarsh, 2022), and dance students and dance professionals continue to be affectedby cases of maltreatment (Cumming et al., 2024). To safeguard dancer welfare, it is critical that the UKgovernment respond to safeguarding and abuse prevention concerns. In this policy briefing,recommendations are made by academics, dance professionals and members of the public on how theUK government can contribute to preventing maltreatment in dance and their role in advocating thewelfare of dance students and dance professionals in the United Kingdom (UK).
