Anyone wanting to become a licenced Chaperone needs to be trained to understand their responsibilities and how to fulfil them.
As a Chaperone you are fully responsible for children all the time they are in your care. This includes when children are on tour when you must check that the accommodation is both suitable and safe.
You are the main point of safety for each child in your care and they must be able to rely on you at all times. It is your responsibility to:
- Protect, safeguard, and support the children you are responsible for.
- You must ensure that a child is not asked to work when they are tired, ill or upset.
- You must ensure that a child is not exposed to adult behaviour or language this includes online safety.
Chaperones act in the place of each child's parent or guardian, always ensuring that the child is put first, their needs are met, and they are safe.
