About RMA
As
there is no regulatory body currently available in the UK,
Reputable Model Agencies (RMA) is an Association formed for
that very purpose.
We provide in-biased information to the public, list
reputable agencies, name & shame bad agencies and act
as a register for those agencies who are reputable.
Reputable agencies who appear on our register would have
supplied evidence of work, have traded for the acceptable
time period, have their children's details hidden on a
password secure website and agreed to our Code Of Practice.
Scary
Facts!
Unfortunately, there are some very worrying facts regarding
the child model industry that have not been addressed by
the government and parents should be made aware of.
Did you know:
There are no laws in place to prevent any person from
starting a child model agency?
There are no regulatory bodies, or systems in place that
child model agencies HAVE to be affiliated to?
An agency will only be investigated by BERR following a
series of complaints from the public?
A paedophile could own and run a child model agency and
there is NOTHING in the law to stop them doing so?
Worrying thoughts........but don't worry!
In
order to ensure you find a good agency and put your child
in the safest of hands, read our information pages then
choose an agency from our 'Reputable Agencies' list.
Formerly known as the RMAUK, RMA has been established since
February 2007 and is an Independent Association for the
child model industry.
