We have an overall strict policy of good behaviour from everyone who attends the Club. Anyone caught dealing in drugs will be banned for life. Alcohol and cigarettes are strictly banned.

 

Everyone is expected to sign in at the main desk. There are no exceptions to this rule.

 

Staff: 

Our staff are expected to act as role models for our members at all times. Swearing and aggressive behaviour are not tolerated. We have an extensive training programme for all our staff in areas of sport and management issues, such as bullying, drug abuse and counselling skills.  

Most of our staff are “home grown – having been members of the Club themselves as boys. They are representative of many ethnic communities and are thus able to provide an understanding of some of the problems that members may face.

 

All our staff are CRB checked on a three yearly basis in accordance with guidelines set out for youth clubs.

 

Members: 

We expect our members to be polite and well-behaved at all times. We do not allow our staff to be intimidated by members and in the event of any bad behaviour the culprit is referred to the Club Manager who may, at his discretion, impose a period of suspension. If the offence is serious enough this could be suspension for life. We expect our members to pay their subscriptions and to follow the guidance and instructions issued by members of staff. There is no quibble about this.

 

Visitors: 

Under our Child Protection Policy rules, visitors are not allowed to roam freely around the Club. A member of staff will accompany them at all times. 

Parents of visiting members will be directed to a specific area where they may wait for their child to finish their activities. They may not roam around the Club. There is no exception to this rule
