General Information:
Safeguarding children and young people
For safety reasons it is necessary to sign your child in/out
upon each visit. Government regulations state that you must collect
your child/children prior to physically signing them out. A person
collecting your child other than yourself must be previously
registered on your enrolment form. Where the pick up person is not
registered formally in writing by the child's parent or guardian,
the child cannot be released.
Aquarena recognises that all children and young people have the
right to develop and reach their potential in environments that are
caring, nurturing and safe. We have a number of policies and
practices to maximise the safety of children and young people in
our care. To read our safeguarding children and young
people policy, please select the link below.
