Safeguarding: Parents Code of Conduct As a parent of a child at the academy, we would like you to:
- Make sure your child has the right kit for the session as well as enough food and drink.
- Arrives on time. On time means arrive with enough time spare to be changed, toileted and ready to train by at least five minutes before your class is due to start. let us know if you are running late or the child is going home with someone else.
- You should expect to stay and supervise. Academy policy requiresparental supervision of each class. Class will not be run without additional parental supervision.
- Complete all consent, contact and medical forms as required.
- Maintain good relationships with your child’s trainers and catch up with them as much as you can about their development.
- Talk to us if you have any concerns about your child involvement – we want to hear from you
- Try to learn about your childs sport and what it means to them.
- Take time to talk to your child about what you both want to achieve through sport, remember that children get a wide range of benefits from participation such as making friends, exercise, developing life skills, it’s not all about winning.
- Behave positively on the side lines. Encourage and tell them how proud you are.
- Think about how the way you react and behave impacts not only your child but other children too.
- Lead by example. • Accept referees decisions and never enter the ring or tatami.
- Use social media responsibly when talking about what goes on at WAKO GB. Behave online as you would in person.
- Encourage good sportsmanship and etiquette in your child.
- Ensure your child understands their code of conduct. We expect all parents to follow the behaviours and requests set out in this code. If any parent behaves in a way which contradicts any of the points set out above, we'll address the problem straight away with the parent and aim to resolve the issue.
