Parent & Carer Information
At StrongHer Space, we want to ensure that you and your child/ren really enjoy using the space and make the most of the facilities that we have available. Please take some time to read what hopefully will be a useful and practical set of principles and guidelines, which will enable you to get the most out of visiting StrongHer Space, as well as to help avoid any misunderstanding or confusion with regards to your child’s wellbeing.
We work to provide a comprehensive guide that forms part of the club’s full policies and procedures to ensure we are protecting and keeping your children safe, whilst you are exercising and having fun at StrongHer Space. If you would like to understand the policies in more detail please speak to any front of house team member or Studio Manager who will be happy to help you.
Quite naturally here at StrongHer Space, we place absolute priority on everyone’s safety and security, so with this in mind, please be aware and observe the following guidelines when visiting the space;
Children between the ages of 14-16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/person over the age of 18 whilst in the gym area/within a class.
Children under the age of 14 are not permitted to be on the gym floor or in any group exercise class.
It is important to remind you that your child/ren should be supervised at all times, when not in our supervision. This is particularly relevant in the lounge area, changing rooms, toilets, corridors and entrance areas of the space. Our front of house team will remind parents of this if they believe a child is putting itself, or others at risk to ensure all members can enjoy a relaxed and positive environment when visiting the space.
Disclosure and Barring Reference Checks
At StrongHer Space we ensure that all team members have reference checks and are cleared with Disclosures before supervising children.
Team members awaiting a check are never left unaccompanied with children.
All our front of house team have experience with children and have regular training to ensure the experiences your child/ren have are the very best for them.
SAFEGUARDING YOUR CHILDREN
Evacuation Procedure
When hearing the fire alarm all parents must evacuate via the nearest fire exit with any children who may be with them on the gym floor. If your child/ren are being supervised by the front of house team, they will evacuate your child/ren to safety following the stringent procedures that StrongHer Space have in place. Parents should note that the space has regular evaation practices and conducts an in-house practice evacuation drill every month to ensure that all staff are fully trained in the evacuation procedure.
If your child has an Accident or Incident whilst in one of our activity/coaching sessions
It is essential you know about your child’s visit with us and should your child have an accident or incident whilst being supervised by our front of house team, depending on the severity, you will either be contacted immediately, or informed on collection of your child.
You will be told of your child’s injury and asked to read and sign the relevant accident or incident form.
All accidents are reported to the Studio Manager and dealt with by a qualified first aider.
CHILD RELATED POLICIES
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
StrongHer Space takes great care to treat each individual as a person in their own right. Discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, religion, colour, marital status, ethnic, national origin or political belief has no place within StrongHer Space.
Special Educational Needs
StrongHer Space is committed to provide for all children’s needs and to the ethos of inclusion of children with special educational and physical needs into the space. To ensure the very best for your child we will ask you to let us know where you will be in the space whilst your child is with us so we can contact you quickly should we need to do so.
Child Protection
Should any of our teams, parents, visitors or guests, suspect a child is at risk in any way they should report their concerns to the Studio Manager, the designated Safeguarding Officer for the club, who will follow the correct procedure in accordance with StrongHer Space guidelines and policies. These concerns will be kept strictly confidential and discussed with the parents, unless such discussion would place a child at risk of significant harm.
Use of mobile phones whilst using StrongHer Space
We think it is important to explain to you why we have a policy in this area, we appreciate that we all like taking pictures of our children, the challenge is to ensure we are not taking unauthorised pictures of other children. To ensure that the privacy of your children is protected we do not allow the use of mobile phones for taking photographs in StrongHer Space’s ‘SmallHer area’ unless it is pre-agreed with the Studio Manager, if you wish to discuss this further please do speak to the team who will be happy to help and advise you further.
Your Child/ren’s Behaviour
At StrongHer Space, our team wants your child/ren to enjoy their visits to us without being hurt or hindered by others. All children being supervised in the space will be treated equally and positive behaviour will be promoted through encouragement, praise and encouraging the children to help each other. Where frustration is expressed in younger children we will actively encourage them to participate in a new activity and will only separate them from other children if they are causing themselves or others harm and in this instance they will be given close attention until they have calmed down or are ready to play again. With older children, clear boundaries and positive behaviour is promoted by agreeing the rules with the children at the start of being supervised, this also promotes consistency to the children. When agreeing the rules, the team will share with the children all the things the children can do whilst you are in session, rather than what they are not allowed to do. If any child’s behaviour is causing concern every effort will be made to understand why they are acting in this manner. A child’s behaviour will be recorded on an incident report form and this will be discussed with the parent/carer on collection, you will be asked to sign to show that you have been informed. In cases of unacceptable behaviour, we may need to contact you immediately.
Bullying
Mutual respect is encouraged between the StrongHer Space Team, your child/ren and you the parents/carers. If an incident of bullying is noticed or reported by a member of the team, a child or a parent; the Studio Manager will look at ways in which this situation can be resolved. This may be in individual meetings or a group discussion depending on the situation.
In all cases, the meetings/discussions will be conducted with sensitivity.
When your child is not very well
Should your child be unwell, you should be aware of the following points which will help us and all our members avoid unnecessary exposure to illness:
If a child has any signs and symptoms of an illness, it is requested that your child/ren be kept at home, until all signs of the illnesses have gone and are symptom free for 48 hours. Examples include: green noses, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis and other infectious symptoms. StrongHer Space will reserve the right to not accept any child who is, in our belief, too ill to be in the space.
Should an infectious illness be reported to the club, we will inform all our members by displaying a notice on the doors of rooms used by the children to give you information of the particular illness and inform the local environmental health authority if appropriate.
This notice shall remain up for the duration of the incubation period or at least 10 days unless further reports of the same illness are reported, in which case the notification will be 10 days from the last reported incidence of the relevant illness.
StrongHer Space requests you inform the club if your child has an infectious illness or communicable disease so that we can minimise the risk of infection to others. StrongHer Space assures you that any information received will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
Children who are unwell should not use the equipment.
Administering Medication to your child
At StrongHer Space we will not administer any medication to children in our supervision. If your child requires medication, we ask you to administer the medication prior to leaving your child with the front of house team. If you have administered a medication to your child prior to bringing them into our space, you are asked to inform the front of house team so that the team can monitor your child closely in case of any reactions to the medication. If your child requires life-saving action such as EpiPen, this will need to be discussed with the Studio Manager to agree ‘best practice’ for your child’s needs.
Complaints Procedure
We are committed to providing amazing activity experiences for our SmallHers, by ensuring that our professional, fun and caring team provide high quality activities in a safe and secure environment for all children. Should there be any questions, suggestions or concerns relating to an individual child’s welfare whilst in our care, parents are advised to speak to the Studio Manager.
Confidentiality
Any information gained by the StrongHer Space Team about families using the space shall be kept strictly confidential. The only exception would be if there were any concerns relating to safeguarding issues, which may need to be raised with the appropriate authorities as part governing body regulations. Your child/ren’s safety will always remain paramount and a key priority for us.
When your child/ren are using the changing rooms and toilets
Please be aware that when your children are using the changing rooms and toilet areas of StrongHer Space it is important that you are there to supervise and ensure they are safe in these areas.
Any child attending the StrongHer Space SmallHer supervision area from 3 years old will need to be completely toilet trained and able to do this task alone.
Staff will not be permitted to assist your child while going to the toilet and so we please ask you to take your child before your session starts.
