Child Collection Procedure

Child Collection Procedure

The following Child Collection Procedure must always be adhered to when delivering sessions in a school setting, or external coaching sessions such as Football Camps for under 18’s.

• Parents wishing for their child to make their own way home  after the session must complete the relevant permission section on the session registration form.

• Children may only be collected by people identified on the session registration form.

• If another unnamed adult is to collect a child then a letter or email from the parent/carer is required prior to collection.

• Children will not be allowed to leave with an adult not identified on the session registration form.

Late Collection of Children

• If a parent/carer is going to be late collecting their child then they must inform Bradford City Community Foundation (BCCF) staff delivering the session at least 1 hour before the end of session.

• Two members of BCCF staff will remain at the setting with the child until collection by a named parent/carer.

Unnotified Late Collection

• If no one has arrived to collect a child or contacted the club 15 minutes after the session ends, the emergency contacts will be called.

• If we have not been able to contact anyone 30 minutes after the session ends Social Services Emergency Duty and Assessment Team will be advised of the potential collection problem on:
