Away Match and Club Outings Travel Policy
- Parents/Carers are responsible for the transportation of their children to and from away venues and other Club related activities.
- Club Officials are not responsible for the transportation of children to and from venue and are prohibited from providing lifts except in exceptional circumstances.
- When a junior side team has an away match, a Club Official will contact the opposition and check if there are any specific issues that need to be considered - e.g. specific risks of which players or supporters need to be aware in advance.
- A Club Official will establish the location, what facilities are available and any specific transport or parking issues.
- A Club Official will provide appropriate information to parents/ carers at least 4 days in advance about the venue, timetable and will explain transportation arrangements
- Club Officials will invite parents/carers to bring their children to the club meeting point (usually, the Pavilion- Coton Recreation Ground) at an agreed time.
- If a child is not being transported by their own parent/ carer - another adult (not a Club Official) should be identified as the responsible adult should they have any injuries or other difficulties.
- Children will be asked to arrive at the Pavilion in their kit with additional layers that can be removed before the match as needed.
- Where possible 2 adults will be present when children are being transported by anyone other than their parent, although it is recognised that is not always possible
- Parents/ carers are expected to collect their child from the club afterwards unless alternative arrangements are made.
- If a child needs to change at the away team's ground- the responsible parent/ carer should make the necessary arrangements
- A Club Official will ensure that a full first aid kit is on hand and a qualified First Aider is present.
- A register will be taken at the start and end of the game before children leave the ground.
