Your child's environments
Kids need the freedom to have fun.
But their safety is of paramount importance.
What to check:
Equipment is safe and well maintained
Medical and first aid procedures. Does the coach know first aid?
The playing area is safe (free of sharp objects, needles, dog litter etc)
There's an arrangement for registering children which includes contact details and health issues
There's an adequate staff to child ratio. Is there enough supervision?
The staff are appropriate - eg, female staff for girls
The collection arrangements following sessions
Toilet and wet weather facilities
Has your child got the right kit?
Whether it's a correctly fitting mouthguard for rugby or a helmet for cycling, each sport has it's own requirements.
Check what your child might need in our What's Your Game section.
Safe sessions
You can't prevent all accidents or injuries in sport, but it does help to follow a simple plan:
A warm up
Adequate supervision at all times
The involvement of all children
Appropriate activities for all participants
A warm down
