Child drop-off/collection and transportation
The authorised parent or guardian must sign their child(ren) in to the program each day.
The authorised parent of guardian must sign their child(ren) out of the program each day unless they specify that the child has permission to leave the program alone or with another designated person.
Behaviour Guidelines
Participants are required to behave in a safe and respectful way towards other participants and the program team.
Failure for any participant to uphold the behaviour guidelines may result in the following:
1. Scripture Union Victoria team members will remind the child/young person about appropriate behaviour and sport specific instructions.
2. If inappropriate behaviour persists, either:
- Supervision will be increased, for example buddying up the participant and a team member (in a ChildSafe appropriate manner).
- The participant may be removed from the group for a short time (5-10 minutes) to give them time to reflect on their actions.
- Depending on the severity and persistence of the misbehaviour, parents are contacted
- If a child's behaviour does not improve despite all efforts, the team member may have to ask the parents to remove the child from the program. This is an extremely rare situation and would only ever be a last resort.
Scripture Union Victoria reserves the right to refuse or conclude a participant's involvement in the program if there is a breach of the Program Behaviour Guidelines (see above). Any costs incurred as a result of damaged property will be charged to the parent/guardian.
