Any person with direct responsibility for children enrolled at Powerpoint Music must report students they consider at risk of harm, in the first place to an owner of the business, currently Stephen or Geralyn Cheers.

This is expressed through a commitment to positive and age-appropriate messages in lesson and song content, reflected in the music chosen for or submitted by students.
