Youthy – Terms & Conditions

The Youthy Terms and Conditions

We create a fun and safe environment for the children, that is full of positivity and support for the children. We aim to guide the youths into making the right choices in life.

We aim to encourage youths to understand their responsibility out in the community.

We can provide work experience for senior youths who may be thinking of having a career in childcare.

Safeguarding the children is a must and we do so at a high standard.

Respect
Kindness

No inappropriate sexual language

Policies and procedures:

Volunteers are often recruited by making checks on their suitability to work with children.

E.g

– Written ref

– Dbs checks

– child safeguarding course

– first aid course

We will always support our staff if they come across a child who is suffering abuse.

If an accusation is made against a volunteer, then it will be looked into, and further steps will be made if we feel necessary. Record information and pass it on to the DSL who will then pass it on to the relevant agency.

At The Youthy we avoid being alone with a child at anyone time, also giving children a lift home and offering them into your home. It is good practice to avoid such situations.
