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 in the global dance landscape (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 in the global dance landscape, there remains an absence of research investigating the prevalence of dancer maltreatment. Whilst there has been a shift towards a proactive approach in the furtherance of research, there remains an absence of public policy development and implementation to safeguard dancer welfare (Tidmarsh, 2022), and dance students and dance professionals continue to be affected by 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 the UK government can contribute to preventing maltreatment in dance and their role in advocating the welfare of dance students and dance professionals in the United Kingdom (UK).
