The only exception is when a child is departing unaccompanied and their parent/carer would like them to have a mobile phone with them, in this event, the mobile phone will need to be handed to staff upon arrival for safe storage and will be handed back to the child on departure.

Additional Support

We will endeavour to accommodate vulnerable children or children with additional needs within the Holiday Club and Activity Course environment. We are realistic about the limitations of our environment for vulnerable children and children with additional needs and attendance is considered on an individual basis.

As above, if English is not a child’s first language, then it will be important for us to establish that they at least have an understanding of basic instructions for health and safety purposes. Please contact the Holiday Club and Activity Course team prior to booking to discuss any requirements further and to consider what (if any) arrangements can and need to be put in place. All details of the Child's needs and additional support requirements MUST be notified at the time of booking by responding with full details in the Child’s profile on our booking system.

Behaviour

We set ourselves high standards and expect our staff to act professionally at all times and to present themselves as positive role models. In return we have expectations of certain standards of behaviour from children attending the Holiday Club and Activity Courses. This includes:

a) Showing respect and treating others as they would wish to be treated.

b) Showing respect for all personal property and the facilities.

c) Listening to and following instructions from staff members.

d) Swearing, abusive and hurtful language is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Aggressive behaviour or violence is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. One child's behaviour will not be allowed to endanger other children attending the Holiday Club and/or Activity Courses.

Please be aware of these standards and support action taken by staff to encourage good behaviour at the Holiday Club and Activity Courses. Parents must inform us via the booking process of any potential behaviour issues and any associated signs, triggers or strategies that would help us to deal with situations in a positive manner. All children are encouraged and regularly reminded to tell a member of staff as soon as anything happens that causes them upset or distress so that we can address any issue immediately.

The Holiday Club and Activity Courses follow a Behaviour Management Policy which includes 4 stages for managing behavioural issues:

Stage 1: Reminder – Child/ (ren) will be reminded of their behaviour and expectations

Stage 2: Verbal Warning –Child(ren) will be reminded again and the Parents/Carers will be given feedback upon collection

Stage 3: Removal from activity/environment –Child(ren) will be removed from the activity/environment until they have understood that their behaviour is unacceptable and the reasons why.

Stage 4: Challenging behaviour to be dealt with appropriately as above. Incident form will be completed and emailed to parents. Holiday Club Management will arrange a meeting with the Parents/ Carers to work together and find a suitable solution which may include the College's right to terminate this agreement with immediate effect. Please note that in these circumstances there will be no refund, reduction or waiver of Fees paid.

Should there be a serious behavioural incident involving the Child that in our opinion puts the child or other children at risk, or behaviour that we cannot reasonably control then we will telephone Parents/carers on the emergency numbers we have been given at the time of booking to request immediate collection which may also include immediate termination of this agreement if it is appropriate to do so.

Immediate challenging behaviour including unwarranted physical contact, bullying, verbal aggression and physical aggression are automatically at Stage 4. If a child feels that they are being subjected to bullying then they are encouraged and regularly reminded to report this to staff members immediately. All reported cases will be dealt with sensitively and fairly and appropriate decisions will be taken in full consultation with all parties.

Similarly, we will not tolerate aggressive, threatening or abusive language or behaviour from parents or carers towards staff members. The College reserves the right to terminate this agreement with immediate effect if, in the opinion of the Holiday Club Manager the Parents
