Identifying Adults
Our leadership team can be identified by their staff t-shirts and/or staff badges.
Visitors are asked to sign in and are usually issued with badges. Unless you have signed in, you are not permitted past our foyer.
We maintain a minimum ratio of 1 adult to 7 young people at all times. Obviously this takes a lot of volunteers so if you feel you could help, even on an occasional basis, we would love to hear from you.
All regular adults have DBS (police) checks. Those without are not left unsupervised.
At least two first aid trained adults are present at each session.
Safeguarding Team
All regular session helpers complete Generalist Safeguarding training which is regularly updated. Safeguarding briefings and updates are provided to the team. The Designated Safeguarding Leads complete detailed training and are appointed to take lead responsibility for child protection issues at the club.

Regular checks on the building and equipment are carried out weekly before sessions and throughout the year by those with an eye for maintenance. Our Health and Safety Representative is the Chair of Trustees.
