Note: Where we refer to ‘parents/carers’ we mean parents/carer inclusively. The term ‘children/child’ describes any person under the age of 18.

The Essentials

• Make sure your child has the right kit, food, and drink for the session.
• Ensure your child arrives to sessions on time and is picked up promptly. Inform us if you’re running late or if your child is going home with someone else.
• Make sure your child wears any protective kit provided.
• Be respectful of everyone participating (coaches, volunteers, young people, parents).
• Talk to us if you have any concerns about any part of your child's involvement.

Behaviour

• Take time to talk to your child about their sport or activity and what they want to achieve while taking part.
• Behave positively and encourage your child and their peers.
• Use social media and apps responsibly when communicating on our channels.
• Encourage your child to play by the rules.
• Ensure that your child understands their code of conduct.

As a Parent, You Have the Right to:

• Be assured that your child is safeguarded during their time with us.
• See any of our policies and procedures at any time.
• Know who the safeguarding lead is and have their contact details.
• Know what training and qualifications our staff have.
• Be informed of problems or concerns that involve or affect your child.
• Be informed if your child is injured and see records of any incidents.
• Have any concerns you may raise listened to and responded to.

We expect all parents/carers to follow the behaviors and requests set out in this code. If any parent behaves in a way that contradicts any of the points above, we will address the issue with the parent and aim to resolve it promptly.

Continued issues and repeated breaches of this code may result in us regrettably asking your child to leave the activity, event, or club permanently — something we never want to do.
