While we expect our young people to get excited, especially when playing team games, we want them to listen to us when we explain things to the group and not chit chat at the same time. Otherwise, it can spoil things for others who can’t hear properly.

We understand that they are not at school, so we’re happy for them to get excited and enjoy themselves, but at the same time, we have to ensure that sessions don’t turn into chaos! Therefore it’s important for them to respect the requests of the leaders.

If you are concerned that your child might cause disruption, you are welcome to attend meetings and even better, help out with the other volunteers, so you can keep an eye on your child.

We won’t tolerate bullying and if we witness it, we will ask the child to sit out activities in the kitchen and tell their parent at the end of the meeting. We want all children to feel equal and accepted.
