Before It Counts

Safeguarding

Keeping children safe

Sessions for toddlers and the grown ups who bring them, run by volunteers. This is how it works.

You stay with your child

The adult who brings a child stays beside them for the whole session. This is not childcare, and no child is ever left in our care.

Who is on the floor

Every coach holds a current enhanced AccessNI check. Our young helpers play the games with the children, always within sight of a coach, and are never alone with a child.

If something worries you

Tell a coach, or email info@beforeitcounts.com. You do not need to be sure. We have a safeguarding officer and a deputy, and their names are given to every family in the group. If a child is in danger, call 999.

Our full safeguarding policy is available to anyone who asks.
