TRAVEL, TRIPS & EVENTS GUIDANCE

Slough Schools’ Football Association will use the following:

• Player Registration forms; make sure these contain accurate information and contact details for both schools and home
• Consent forms; make sure they are signed, returned and kept safely in line with data protection legislation
• Risk Assessment forms; ensure these are completed prior to every trip and have been signed off by the Association committee
• Authorisation form; every event outside of the pre-arranged fixtures list must be sanctioned and agreed beforehand by your Association. You must keep evidence of this.
• If the group is aged over 8 years there should always be 2 adults and a minimum of 1 adult to 16 children (more adults are required when working with younger age groups) and when working with children with additional needs
• When taking a male group, there should always be a male member of staff and, of course, when you have a female group, there should always be female staff
• There should always be a qualified first aider and a full and up to date first aid box
• If any of the group have asthma or diabetes, ensure that appropriate Association team managers are aware of how to deal with any situation
