Children will be encouraged where possible to help tidy away the activities. Behaviour Statement As a club we aim to encourage and promote acceptable behaviour and respect for others. We appreciate parental support in achieving and reinforcing this. We use a consistent and positive approach, based on mutual respect between adults and children. High expectations of behaviour and leading by example help us to achieve this aim. Club staff will help children to talk about and sort out their differences in positive ways. Praise and rewards are integral to this approach. Cases of bullying in the club setting are taken very seriously as this threatens the safe and happy atmosphere which the club fosters. Club staff will investigate any allegations of bullying and parents of all involved would be informed. Although support and advice would be given to a perpetrator of bullying, persistent bullying would result in exclusion from the club. Special Needs Statement Children with special needs have the right to be included and for their needs to be met wherever possible. This may involve the adaptation of activities and/or the environment. Staff and parents of children with special needs, along with any other relevant parties, will work together to try to ensure, access to premises, facilities and activities of the club. All information relating to children with special needs will be treated as strictly confidential.
