Disclaimer for clients attending Brent Mencap sports sessions with support staff

Purpose of disclaimer- as some clients may attend with support staff they may not want to give us all information required to provide safe, accessible activities. We are still happy for these clients to take part and will only collect monitoring information such as name, date of birth, address, support agency details, photograph consent, diversity information as well as a signed data consent form.

We expect staff who are supporting clients to attend to have all relevant information regarding communication, support needs, behaviour management, medical conditions, medication, next of kin, dietary and potential risks and to ensure any relevant information to ensure the safety of clients is passed to Brent Mencap worker and the coach at each session.

Brent Mencap assumes that each person participating in the activities is healthy and has no medical condition that would preclude him or her from participating in the activities, unless we have been given specific medical details.

Support staff should not allow their clients to participate in an activity if any medical, physical or other factor indicates that he or she is not suited to that activity. Where there are any queries or concerns about such matters, the consent of the participant, GP and/or parent/carer should be obtained by the service before allowing participation.

Adult supervision must be provided at all times for all activities where participants require additional support.

If there is an emergency, the clients support staff will need to deal with this accordingly for example contacting next of kin, giving information to emergency services.
