The programme is delivered by the Geraldine Family & Youth Trust. Our supervisor and staff have been specifically trained in health and safety, behaviour management and leadership skills. There is always at least one first aid trained person on site. The safety of all children at our programmes is paramount. Full copies of our safety policies are available on request.
The programme seeks to meet the needs of people with disabilities. There is an additional form to complete to help us to understand your child’s needs.
If your child has a condition that requires medication, this will need to be detailed on the Registration Form and on a separate Medication Consent Form. Medication can only be administered if the consent form has been completed.
Out of consideration for others, please do not bring unwell children to the programme. If your child / children have been vomiting or had diarrhoea, they must be kept away from Kids Alive for 48 hours.
