Introduction
• standards currently are too low in the centre in particular registration of children in our coaching sessions, late arrivals, time keeping in coaching sessions, behaviour, standard of first aid boxes, accident investigation, child protection, Reporting of incidents, Emergency action plan. To help improve standards we are going to introduce the following procedures.
Registration of children to coaching sessions
We are currently allowing children to come in on the day and join in our coaching sessions telling us their parents will come in and sign our documents in the future but we never seem to meet these parents this is something we cannot allow to happen due to the risks. Children cannot be allowed to just join in as we do not know of anyone previous injuries or current ones and Because we have not been told of any illnesses they may have for example you may not know a child suffers from fits therefore being unable to realise the symptoms to this there fore allowing the fit to happen this will also affect us as we will have no contact number to call and alert the parents/guardians that the child is going to hospital or is ill.
This is how we are going to improve things around here first by creating registration forms with questions the parents will need to fill in about their children. Then creating a contact book in which the parents will fill out details allowing us to contact them about issues involving their child. To allow to know which chldren have had this done we will give them wrist bands to wear every session and will also have there parents sign them in and out in the waiting room.
Late arrival
At the moment we are allowing anyone to turn up at any time and just join in with the coaching session whether we know them or whether it their first time. Some children have been missing warm ups because of being late not stretching and just joining straight in this puts them at automatic risk of injury. Allowing them to join in
