CANCELLATIONS / REFUND POLICY (Including child sickness)

We require at least 14 full days’ notice of cancellation before the first day of the week that your child is due to attend a club, in order to receive a 100% refund. If a refund is agreed, this will only be via ClassForKids.

If you cancel your sessions without giving at least 14 full days’ notice before the first day of the week your child is due to attend, you will not receive a refund. 

In some circumstances, a refund may be given at the manager’s discretion.

CHILD SICKNESS (whilst at club) 

If a child is unwell whilst at a club, our staff will care for the child accordingly as per the school procedures. If a child it too unwell to stay at the club, we will contact the parent/carer and ask for them to be collected when possible. Children with diarrhoea and/or vomiting will need to be collected as soon as possible and should not return to the school for at least 2 days.

LOST PROPERTY 

Please ensure that children do not bring valuable belongings when attending a club as we cannot be held responsible if they go missing. We cannot guarantee the return of lost property, but will endeavour to return items on request which we are able to identify. We will keep lost property for a period of four weeks only. If it is left unclaimed after this period has expired, we will distribute the lost property to local charities. 

PHOTOGRAPHY

From time to time we take photographs which may be used for marketing and promotional purposes. All photography will be taken on school devices, not on staff personal devices. If you would rather your child was not included in any photographs please make this clear but by ticking the no photograph option on the booking form.

MEDICAL INFORMATION 

In order to care for your child in the best possible way, and for their own safety and wellbeing, RRAC requires parents to provide full information on any relevant medical conditions, allergies, additional needs and / or dietary restrictions. This information should be entered onto ClassForKids during sign-up and parents have the responsibility to update this when necessary.

RRAC reserve the right to exclude children for whom full information, as described above, has not been provided, either from taking part in certain activities or, if felt necessary, from attending clubs altogether until full information has been provided. It is your responsibility to ensure we hold the correct information at all times and we reserve the right to cancel a booking at any time where there has been a failure to provide said information. No refund or credit will be issued in those circumstances. 

RRAC staff will not accept or administer any medication that is not prescribed. Please bring evidence of prescription with any medication to the club the child is attending.

LATE FEES 

RRHC reserve the right to charge a fee for late collection of any children. If a child is collected after the allocated collection time identified on booking, the parent / carer will be reminded of the pick-up time and reminded they need to call the Activity Camp manager if they are running late. If this is significant lateness or happens again, there will be a charge of £20 for the first 15 minutes and then £20 per 15 minutes thereafter. Parents will need to indicate on the booking if their child will be making their own way home.

SAFEGUARDING 

RRAC staff have a duty to respond if they suspect a child in their care may be suffering from abuse, or if a child makes a disclosure about abuse. In this event the relevant staff will follow the school Safeguarding Policy and report to the Designated Safeguarding Lead any concerns that arise. Our school safeguarding policy can be viewed HERE

RATIOS/AGE GROUPS 

RRAC has maximum capacities in place in all clubs to prevent the teacher:child ratio exceeding the recommended limit.

RRAC does not accept liability for personal injury or death of any participants unless directly caused by the proven negligence of the company or its servants.

INSURANCE

All children in our care are covered by our Public Liability Insurance.

EXCLUSION/SUSPENSION 

RRAC has a strict no bullying policy. If an incident does occur, there will be communication to the parent/carer of the child regarding the matter. RRAC reserves the right to exclude any child for any reason at their absolute discretion.

Furthermore, RRAC reserves the right to exclude or refuse any person without notice, if we consider that their presence compromises the good atmosphere of the club. Transport home will be the responsibility of the parent and no refund/credit will be available.

Any serious incidents involving Royal Russell students will be passed onto the Senior School Leadership Team at Royal Russell School.
