Child protection policy / Obligations of parents or legal guardians

We believe we have a responsibility towards the children who are attending our courses, including the duty to protect them from various types of abuses. We aim to achieve this this through compliance with the child protection laws of the United Kingdom and from each of the countries we operate in, and by adhering to the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

According to our child protection policy, we expect all students between 3 years old and 11 years old to be collected from our premises at the end of each lesson by an adult. We believe that teenagers over 11 years old have permission to leave the lesson unaccompanied.

Intimate care

Due to the nature of our courses, we expect all the early years students to be toilet- independent.

If your child needs support with their intimate care, please make sure you stay on the premises during the lessons, so that you could provide support if necessary. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
