Child Protection

Foundsport is aware that schools and parents will expect any individual responsible for the safety and well-being of children to be qualified and trustworthy. All of our coaches are in possession of a current Working With Children Check and National Police History Check and have appropriate National Governing Body qualifications. It is also company policy that they always wear the Foundsport uniform and Foundsport ID when they are coaching children.

First Aid

Foundsport requires that all coaches hold a current First Aid Certificate and carry a fully stocked first aid kit with them to all sessions. We ask schools and parents to provide us with contact details for every child and to notify us of any medical conditions and allergies in the event of an accident or emergency.

Risk Assessments

Our staff are required to conduct a risk assessment of the facility, equipment, the activity and the group of children before delivering a session, and to put any measures in place that are required to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries occurring.

Accident and Emergency Procedures

Whilst delivering safe sessions is of the utmost importance, all our team are trained how to respond in the event of an accident or an emergency.

Equipment

All members of our team are provided with a range of equipment to enable them to deliver safe and effective coaching sessions.

ID Badges

As stated in the Child Protection section above, all our coaches are provided with and required to wear Foundsport ID badges.
