Importance of literature

This particular article has been incredibly helpful to my line of inquiry. As a whole I would say evidence in this article states that yes, the importance of safeguarding of children has affected a hands on approach to dance teaching. It's being discussed by leading bodies within the dance world, it talks of the different society that we now live in and the fact that dance does not have its own explicit code of conduct. One of the main points this article makes is that the dance industry does not have a specific code of conduct as a whole that we as teachers should follow. Many other organisations do, there are of course obvious ones in terms of medical practice but this article comments on the fact that other sporting subjects have their own codes of conduct such as gymnastics and football: 'these sporting organisations are well ahead of the dance world. Yet the whole issue of touching is an important one for the dance industry. It is time that we discussed these issues openly and with professional objectivity.'
'The first is that major sports are already well ahead of the dance industry in producing booklets outlining what is appropriate'
Is this what we need in the dance world? It is of course so important that children are protected and this article stated many of the different child protection laws that are in place. These are incredibly important when sadly there are teachers or other professionals out there who do not follow good practice (as mentioned in the article)  'Like it or not, society is now changing in a way which means that even totally harmless actions can result in lawsuits' This is perhaps why the safeguarding of children has affected the hands on approach; society has changed and we, dance teachers, do not have a specific code that we all follow. 
This article also supported some previous research about making parents and students aware that in some cases physical touch will be used to enhance the childs learning and understanding. During a conversation about the subject with a friend of mine she mentioned that ' Parents are made aware of a "hands on" correcting technique when they join the schools I work for' The article states:
'these are the professional standards that we would naturally expect to uphold, but it is useful to he reminded of them and to communicate them to the parents who pay our salaries. It can only be good practice to be seen to have considered these matters and then to have done something about them in a professional manner.'
If all parents and students were made aware of this then would this resolve the matter? It does at least cover a dance teachers back should a complaint be made against them.
' We do need to be aware that other professions are ahead of us in making codes of practice explicit, and that there are real issues of legality, duty of care and child protection that we cannot ignore.'
