Your FAQ

Question: What level of supervision is a Matron (Chaperone) required to provide?

Answer: The regulations state that matrons must remain with the children all of the time. This includes in the dressing room! It therefore may be necessary to have 2 matrons on duty.
It is only when the children are on stage or performing that matrons are not required to be by their side.
