Parents are encouraged to stay if they wish to do so. Indeed, parents may even choose to participate with their child in simple ways. Alternatively, children may be left safely with the instructor for the duration of the class - although parents should check that the instructor is present and knows that you are leaving.

safe while in your classes?
In line with national guidelines, the Association has a Child Protection Policy with which all instructors should be familiar. please contact us for further information. In addition, all instructors undergo a Disclosure Scotland check; they must have a first aid certificate; they must have passed a national Assistant or Full Instructors course, and they must have insurance to teach with the Association.
Parents must provide
contact details at the child's first class.
