Aims

The aims of this policy are:

To safeguard the children in our care, and to provide a suitable, secure environment for children
To safeguard possessions and equipment against theft and unauthorised use.
To safeguard staff and users against intrusive or unwanted behaviour by intruders.
To know who is in the building, should it have to be evacuated in an emergency.

To these ends, the following will be observed:

Schools Out Club staff will record arrival and departure times on a sign-in sheet.
All staff, volunteers and visitors are to sign in and out on the sheet located at the front door.
All staff who let people in with the entry phone will be responsible for meeting them, ensuring they arrive to the appropriate part of the building.
People visiting the Schools Out Club (other than children users for whom there are separate procedures) will be required to sign in and out.
