If you don't feel safe or are upset about something that has happened, the important thing is that you tell someone about it.

If you feel you can, talk to a tutor you trust, Karen (Head of Leeds Junior Conservatoire), Dan (Leeds Junior Conservatoire Coordinator) or a family member.

It is important to us that LJC is a safe space for children and young people.
