Good management for supplementary schools

Free 3-day course for supplementary schools in London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham

The purpose of this three-day course is to help providers of out-of-school activities for children prepare a School Management Pack.

The School Management Pack consists of

•           A welcome pack for parents
•          Staff and volunteer handbook
•          Management committee guide
•          Safeguarding policies and procedures for all

Day One (17/1/17) – prepare a Welcome Pack for Parents.
Safeguarding: Safeguarding Statement; Health and Safety policies

Day Two (18/1/17) – prepare a Staff and Volunteer Handbook.
Safeguarding: Safe recruitment procedures; Code of Conduct for staff; e-safety; Off-site procedures

Day Three  (24/1/17) – prepare a Management Committee Guide.
Safeguarding: Child Protection; Risk Assessment; Training plans

The Good Management Pack is your first step towards gaining a Quality Framework Award at Bronze, Silver or Gold. 

All schools completing the course will be eligible to receive a quality assurance visit to confirm that they are meeting best practice guidelines.

The guidance is in line with criteria proposed by the Government for safe practice in supplementary schools. Funders and partners can be sure that supplementary schools completing the course successfully are well managed and understand safe practice. 

Local authorities can use the course to meet their duties to understand the range of out-of-school activity and settings in their areas. The course provides the required appropriate and proportionate steps and will guide the organisations towards voluntary accreditation.

This course can also support supplementary schools seeking a Quality Framework Award through the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education.
