Health and Safety Policy

The Health and Safety of you and your child is very important to me and I have therefore documented the following procedures that

have in place to support this.
 

• The parent/career is aware and accepts full responsibility for their child at all times during classes/sessions/workshops/parties held by Arty Artisans.

• All equipment will be checked and cleaned regularly to ensure they are safe for your child to use. Any broken or hazardous equipment will be removed immediately. 

• Children will only be offered equipment and resources that are suitable for their age/stage of development.

• A risk assessment of the venues are done at the start of each academic year and a visual assessment is done before every session/workshop or party before the children/parents arrive to ensure that it is a safe environment.

• In the event of a fire/evacuation please follow the Fire instructions found in the venues.  Please make yourself aware of these procedures as you enter the building.

• Smoking is not permitted inside any venue.

• I have a strict Safeguarding Children policy in place.

• I have a Lock down policy which outlines the steps taken

• I will work with you to teach the children about safety issues such as using scissors

• Children in the home ed groups and Arty After groups may be left under my supervision with the consent of their parent/career. A registration form and emergency contact details must be completed on enrolment.
