TEACHING
YOGA TO THE UNDER 18s |
|
|
If you are
working with young people under 18 years of age you need to hold a
current Criminal Records Bureau
(CRB) Enhanced Disclosure certificate. Certificates are
valid for three years from the date of issue.
If you are teaching yoga to children please inform Helen Smith, the
BWY Ethics, Equity & Welfare Manager, including your certificate
number and expiry date: CP and Equity:
Tel: 01268 775750.
Download General Information and a Checklist of requirements. See
Enhanced Disclosure application information.
It is important for those teaching for a school, college, sports
centre or other organisation to follow that organisation's own CP
procedures. Find out who within the organisation is the CP referral
person, and also request a copy of their CP Policy. The CP referral
person should be able to explain their correct procedures, supported
by their CP Policy. Those teaching independent classes should follow
the BWY CP Policy.
