Child Protection

The club has a duty of care and a responsibility to the welfare of the children attending the club and to this end staff will implement the procedures and Practice Guidelines of West Lothian Council in relation to Child Protection matters. All staff receive training on this subject and a copy of these guidelines can be made available to parents and guardians on request.

Cultural Environment

Holidays, traditions and celebrations form other cultures are recognised and respected and therefore your views and wished towards your own child's inclusion, or non-participation will be respected and recognised.

Equal Opportunity

All children are treated equally and able to participate fully in activities. The children are made aware of and taught to value different cultures and races. Gender stereotyping is discouraged.

Ethos

The aim of the club is to create a warm, welcoming, caring atmosphere where play can take place and children feel secure whilst under the supervision of confident, experienced staff. Each child is an individual and therefore has individual needs and so the skills and knowledge of the staff will be adapted accordingly.

Health and Safety

It is our main objective to provide a safe and healthy environment for the children and staff of our club and therefore regular fire drills, maintenance and accident report procedures are in place. The Care Commission is an organisation set up to monitor the levels of care within organisations caring for children to ensure the continued safety of the children and we work closely with them.
