Breakaway Playscheme Important Info
At Breakaway Playschemes we aim to provide quality play activities and experiences for our children and young people and offer respite time for parents and carers. We will promote equality and diversity in all our activities and encourage inclusion by offering support to enable our children and young people to play.
We will work in partnership with all relevant organisations and parents/carers; develop policies and procedures and ensure they are followed and regularly reviewed; and provide training and development opportunities for our staff and volunteers.
The smooth running of our playschemes relies on the support of parents and carers.
Please help us by: -
- During your child's session a parent or carer must remain within 30 minutes travel of the scheme, so you can arrive promptly should you be called to attend in an emergency.
