At Motio Camps Ltd, the safety and wellbeing of every child is our top priority. We believe all children have the right to enjoy sports and activities in a safe, positive, and supportive environment.
This policy sets out how we safeguard children at our camps.
Our Commitment
- To always place the welfare of children first.
- To create a safe, inclusive space where children feel valued, respected, and supported.
- To protect children from harm, abuse, or neglect.
- To ensure all staff are trained, vetted, and committed to safeguarding practices.
Safer Recruitment
- All coaches and assistants undergo an enhanced DBS check.
- Staff are required to demonstrate suitability for working with children.
Safeguarding in Practice
- Sign-In & Out Process: Parents/guardians must sign children in and out manually. Staff also check bookings through our booking system.
- Supervision: Children are supervised at all times, indoors and outdoors. Staff maintain appropriate ratios and remain vigilant.
- Boundaries: Staff maintain healthy, professional relationships with children — being supportive, approachable, and encouraging while ensuring clear, fair boundaries.
- Positive Environment: We encourage kindness, teamwork, and respect. Behaviour is managed through positive reinforcement, de-escalation, and clear communication.
- First Aid & Illness: All camps have a qualified first aider on site. Parents are informed promptly of injuries, illness, or if medication has been required.
How We Handle Concerns
- Spotting Concerns: Designated Camp Leads are trained to recognise signs of abuse, neglect, or safeguarding risks.
- Responding: If a child discloses something, staff will listen carefully, reassure the child, and explain that they must share the concern with the Designated Camp Lead (DCL).
- No Confidential Promises: We never promise secrecy. Concerns are always passed on to the DCL.
- Reporting: The DCL records concerns and, if necessary, escalates to senior management (Marco and Lawrence).
Parents & Guardians
- We work in partnership with families to ensure children are safe and happy. Parents will be informed of:
- Any injuries, illnesses, or notable incidents.
- Behaviour concerns that require follow-up.
- Achievements and positive contributions during the day.
