At Project RED‑D, we’re here to support dancers and their communities with practical, evidence-informed resources.
Explore our collection of guidance on recognising, preventing, and managing REDs; all designed to help you feel informed and supported.
Before you dive in, take a moment to watch our Education Film to understand what REDs is, and the impact REDs can have on dancers. When you’re done, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Toolkit
These Toolkits are a collection of practical, evidence-informed resources for parents, dancers, and teachers. Designed to support understanding, prevention, and early action, they provide clear, accessible guidance that can be easily downloaded and used in real-world settings.
As part of our mission to be a central hub of trusted information on REDs in Dancers, these toolkits bring together key knowledge in one place. They are available in eight languages to ensure accessibility for all communities.
This is a living resource. The Toolkits will continue to evolve and expand, with regular updates as new insights emerge making them a core part of what we are building to support healthier, more informed dance environments.
