Notes for Parents
As part of the implementation of the BJA-Judo Scotland child protection policy the coaches all have disclosure certificates. Many of the coachin team have completed a Safeguarding and Protecting Children Course as part of their coaching course. Child protection isa standing item at our yearly AGM and the Child Welfare Officer (Judith) reports on progress in this important area. Judith's remit as Independant Club Welfare Officer is to assist with the policy implementation and to ensure the policy is adhered to by the coaching team. Judith is a qualified Social Worker and has a wealth of practical experience.
In practice on club training nights in an attempt to keep it simple and open:
Note - most leaders have their own children at lessons or are parents themselves and can appreciate the issues.
Note too that is the parents responsibility to supervise changing, loo visits and such like, the coaches wont do this. If a childs parent's are absent
from the sidelines we will send children in pairs to the loo or with an older sibling or known relative.
If you have any concerns or need clarification on any issue please speak to Judith or contact her by email.
