During the enrolment process, parents will be asked if their child suffers from any medical condition, has any allergies or requires any medication. This information will allow us to ensure that the required care is given to your child if need be. Any medication that requires assistance when being administered should be declared and signed in and out by an authorised adult each day. Medication should be in its original packaging and clearly labelled with the participant’s name and clear instructions on use. If a child suffers from learning or behavioural difficulties, the parent should flag their specific needs with relevant coaching staff to ensure successful inclusion in the clinic.
Where required, first aid will be administered for minor injuries to the child and ensure that they are fit to return to play. If the child is not fit to return to play, the child will be supervised until they recover or until an authorised adult arrives to collect the child. In the event that the issue is serious, Emergency attention will be sought immediately and the parent/guardian will be informed as soon as possible. Where First Aid is administered, an Incident/Accident form will be completed and signed by the attending staff member.
The parent/guardian will need to sign this form when they collect the child to ensure they have acknowledged the incident has occurred. There will be no other clinics for the child to attend if they need to leave the clinic.
