Squash Section - Children
and Vulnerable Adults Policy
The Squash Section has
drafted the following policy after discussion at the OGM of 21.10.08.
|
Ups Club Squash Section : Children (18’s and under) and
Vulnerable Adults Policy (PCVA) |
|
DRAFT
This
policy was first discussed at the Squash Club Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) of
21 October 2008.
A few basic points were drafted in consideration of the best practice we could think
of to cater for children and vulnerable adults that might use the Squash
Facility. By children we mean members who are under 18 years of age. This group
of members will generally be Associate or Family Members of the Ups Club.
These points should be considered alongside the Ups Club and Squash Club Constitutions. The Squash Section
has given special thought to this policy as it was discussed in light of
insurance issues. A fuller explanation of the schedule of the insurance
documents is available on the Squash Club Insurance
web page.
The Squash Section does not believe that a policy for ‘Vulnerable
Adults’ is warranted as this category of player is probably not catered
for within the Ups Club membership criteria.
The
Squash Section believes that children and young people have the right to be
safe, secure and free from threat.
In order to ensure this, the Squash Section propose the following safeguards:
· All children who attend the squash
court must be Associate
or Family Members of the Ups Club.
· Children who are not Associate or Family Members of the
Ups Club will NOT be allowed to
attend as guests.
· All child members will be required
to have a parent or legal guardian in attendance and in a supervision capacity.
· The parents or legal guardians who
supervise other child members MUST
have the consent of that childs parent or legal guardian for attendance. Verbal
permission is allowed.
Drafted
on behalf of Ups Club Squash Section Management Committee
Steve Edwards - Chairman.
Based on discussions held at OGM 21.10.08.
