AW Performance Hockey Safety Policy

---

At AW Performance Hockey, the safety and security of your child are of utmost importance to us. Our commitment to safety is reflected in the following policies and procedures:

1. Supervision and First Aid:

Your child will always be under careful supervision, including break and lunch times. Our staff includes a first aid-trained member who will be on-site during the entire camp.

2. Medical Information:

Please inform us of any relevant health details during the booking process, including medical, physical, or behavioral considerations. It is crucial for us to be aware of any health challenges, such as allergies, diabetes, or epilepsy. All information will be treated confidentially.

3. Additional Forms and Information:

In some cases, additional forms may be required. By signing up, you acknowledge that a first aid-trained team member may administer medical treatment or seek emergency advice if necessary.

4. Food – Lunch and Snacks:

Camp attendees are required to bring a packed lunch containing sufficient food and snacks to meet dietary and energy needs.

Proper hydration is crucial, especially during warm months. Parents are encouraged to provide drinks and snacks. Camp attendees should have a refillable water bottle, and regular water breaks will be scheduled.
