Security information & Risk Assessments

We understand that often in your preparation for the big day, you are asked to risk assess potential problems and provide solutions should those risks occur. To help you with this risk assessment from each of our arenas will be available towards the end of the year and can be found in the Teacher Resources section under the Teacher Centre.

Young Voices must receive notice of any incident or occasion involving the safety of the children under the control of their Teacher/s. The safety and security of our schools and audience is paramount and we have stringent measures in place across the site, to protect all of our visitors.

The arena has an incredibly strong, visible and professional security team who continuously patrol the site to ensure the safety of our visitors. The venues and Young Voices have a public liability insurance policy that covers every concert.

For the health and safety of the guests the Venue has the sole right to decide any changes to the submitted plans without notice.


Please note

  • On the day of the concert each school is responsible for the safety of the children under their control.
  • Venue Risk Assessments will be available in the Teacher Centre in the Autumn Term.
  • The arena's are not Learning Outside of the Classroom (LOTC) Accredited
  • Schools are advised to bring a packed tea for the 5pm break as schools will not be able to leave the venue
  • Schools are responsible for hiring a coach to and from venues.
  • Schools are responsible for all parking fees
  • All children and adults in the choir must wear a YV Choir T-shirt or a plain white top during the concert. This helps with the lighting effects, during the concert, please advise all assisting staff members.
  • We strongly advise you to take your choir children back to your school after the concert, this is the safest and most efficient way to reunite children with their parents and carers.


Full information, including drop off points and parking will be available towards the end of the year and can be found in the Teacher Resources section under the Teacher Centre.

Young Voices also has a Health & Safety Policy of our own that we use to be sure all processes and communication adhere to the latest health and safety act. Our Health & Safety Policy as well as our six core policies (Data Protection, Child Protection, etc.) can be found in Legalities.

  • What's the cost of a concert registration? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Every year YV charges a registration fee (£105 + £5 P&P tracked mail ) for schools who wish to take part in the YV concert.

    With payment of the registration fee you will receive:

    • Teachers Guide – information, order forms and useful tips
    • Music Book - notes from our conductor David Lawrence, music and lyrics sheets
    • Online Teacher Resources – full access
    • Online YV Teacher Community – full access
    • Secure Online Music Resources for choir members
    • Inclusion in a YV concert – regardless of the size of your choir

  • Are there any requirements? keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Over 150,000 children participate in our concerts each year! As with all exciting things – there is a limit to the number of concerts we hold each year and the number of children that each venue can hold. So that we don’t exceed this capacity we need the help of you, our teachers.

    Upon registration we will ask you for the approximate size of your choir. We understand that this might be far enough in the future that you don’t have a good estimate – new to the school, first time at YV, bringing a new class year, etc. However, if you could make your very best educated guess that will help us have an idea of capacity.

    Any schools that do not submit an approximate choir size will be allocated our average (30 children).

  • Choir Check-In keyboard_arrow_up keyboard_arrow_down

    Choir Check-in must be completed in the Teacher Centre in September

    At Choir Check-in we ask you to confirm:

    • That your school still intends to attend your allotted concert
    • How many children are in your choir
    • How many adults are accompanying your children
    • Any other special requests YV (for example, choir members who need a wheelchair space or need extra support. Medical confirmation may be requested)

    By confirming your attendance and numbers at this stage you make it possible for us to:

    • Confirm any spaces for schools on the waiting list
    • Place the choirs in the arena
    • Process school ticket orders in the best way possible for parents to see their children


    We use your choir numbers to seat the choirs in the arena so it’s important that you give us the most accurate number of children and adults that you can. If your numbers change after this date it is important that you let us know straight away.


    Young Voices works on a ratio of 1 adult per 10 children Plus 1. Eg. 10 children = 2 adults, 20 children = 3 adults etc. Should you wish to bring any extra adults above the YV 1:10 ratio, there will be an additional charge (£25). However, if you are able to submit evidence of a SEN statemented child that needs additional support (free carer), please use the options available on the Teacher Centre (from September).
