Information for Parents
Staffing
All staff members recruited to work the
Playscheme at the Stadium have to be suitably qualified &
experienced before consideration. All staff have been security
checked (CRB) and references are also obtained.
Security and Safety
The arrival and departure of all children is
recorded using a numbered wristband registration system. Children
will only be allowed to leave the Stadium with their
parent/guardian unless a written child safety slip has been
completed in advance by the parent/guardian allowing the child to
leave in another way (i.e. walking, cycling or being collected by
another person).
Upon booking a place on the scheme, a
personal details form will be completed and retained by the stadium
in case of any occurrences that may require parental contact. This
form will include emergency contact details and any medical issues
that the stadium staff need to be aware of. A log is kept of these
and is treated as confidential information.
