Supervision and support
11.1 Supervision ratios and minimum staffing
As our organisation's standard, we aim to maintain a minimum staff-to-participant supervision ratio of 1 responsible adult to every 8 children for activities involving children. This applies to volunteers supporting classes.
Volunteers only count towards supervision numbers where they have been appropriately inducted and, where required for the role, DBS checked.
A minimum of two responsible adults must be present at all times during sessions involving children.
