Additional Policies
Please find information on Belper Gymnastics Club (BGC) regarding refunds, safeguarding, health and safety, insurance, privacy, equality, and code of conduct below.
Payment Policy
Once registration and payment for the first month is complete and the first paid session has been attended, the parent/guardian and child will be considered a member. Session payments work in 4 week blocks, and members will be invoiced every month and must pay before entering the session. Please notify the club in advance if you wish to cancel your membership, and you will no longer receive invoices and your child cannot attend sessions. If you stop attending and paying for a while without notifying the club, the child's place will not be reserved and may be filled. If you have paid for a month in advance but have not attended any sessions from that block then a refund can be given AND cancelled membership by notifying the club (e.g. cancelled membership in April, already paid for May but have not attended any sessions in May, full refund can be given for May).
Safeguarding
BGC is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children participating in our activities. All coaches must have a valid and recent enhanced DBS check and relevant safeguarding training. The club's Safeguarding and Welfare Policy and Procedures ensures we meet the highest standards of safety for our participants.
Health & safety, and fire safety
BGC ensures that all equipment is fit for purpose, all activities are safe, and coaches are appropriately qualified. BGC also has an appropriately qualified first aider available during all sessions. All relevant health & safety risk assessments have been conducted and additional measures have been enacted to ensure the safety of participants, parents, and staff. The club has conducted a fire risk assessment for its specific activities and required further action has been taken, and has a fire evacuation plan. In addition, BGC has ensured that the venue (Vanessa's School of Dance) has sufficient fire safety measures in place.
Insurance
BGC is fully insured by Insure4Sport for Gymnastics.
