Could you be the chaperone we are looking for?

At Highly Sprung we are looking to expand our pool of volunteer chaperones for our under 16s at rehearsals and performances over the next year. Chaperones are a vital element to ensure our young people are safe. To ensure our performances can run smoothly. 

How it works: 

• If you have a valid chaperone license you are ready to go! 
• If you do not yet have this, Highly Sprung will pay for your license.

How to get your chaperone license:

To get your chaperone license you must apply in the local authority where you live. The process will vary slightly, but will usually include an application form, DBS check and safeguarding training.

Dates for chaperoning:

Highly Sprung run a varied range of events and performances for children and young people throughout the year, where we need chaperones. Get in touch for more information on current dates available.
