Safety
We ensure that all venues are thoroughly risk assessed and monitored to ensure that they comply with health and safety requirements. Staff are trained to recognise hazards and how to eliminate or control them. All staff have food hygiene certificates, first aid and are DBS (CRB) checked as well as undertaking training in child protection awareness and Prevent Duty.
Communication
Open channels of communication are vital when caring for children and fostering positive relationships with parents and carers. We recognise the importance of ensuring all parents and carers are able to communicate with the club in a way that is appropriate to their needs or situation.

-
Face to Face – at club or pre-arranged meetings. We offer an open door policy
-
Phone and text including a ‘Text Alert’ system for important messages and information, and emergency updates (e.g. weather, premises, power supply).
