Welcome to Workshop

Dear Member,

Welcome to the Workshop! We try our best to offer you the best possible service and hope that your child is happy and stimulated at all times. Please take the time to read our following club rules and consent form so that we may continue to provide a quality service; -

 

All children must be paid for in monthly blocks. Payments are due for gymnasts on the first week of every month, payments can be made by cash or card reader. Our 1-hour classes and Advanced classes are paid by direct debit and details will be sent following your child’s first session. Unfortunately, we don’t accept cheques or credit cards. Should your child not attend the fee will be fortified as rent hire and coaches fees are to be met. This will guarantee your child a space in the class. A club membership fee of £15 is to be paid immediately and then annually each September.

 

All children MUST BE MEMERS OF BRITISH GYMNASTICS and therefore the membership fee must be paid direct to British Gymnastics by registering online on the British Gymnastics Website, this includes the membership to British Gymnastics and personal accident insurance for each individual child. This is compulsory for every child that attends the gymnastics club. The fee is £22.00 for the non-competitive over 5’s and £15.00 for the under 5’s per annum which runs 1 October to 1 October each year.

 

Unfortunately, we cannot allow parents in the gymnasium for health and safety reasons.

 

Please note at break times and lunch times children may be unsupervised and therefore left at their own risk.

 

The children are working towards our new RISE gymnastics awards, starting from RISE explore 1 – 4, you will receive a slip advising you of badges and certificates which your child has passed on a regular basis. Once your child has passed badge RISE EXPLORE 1-4, we advise they move up into a 3-hour group where they will then work through our RISE EXCEL.

All British Gymnastics members once insured will have their own log in portal in which they can check their child’s progress.

Our coaches are British Gymnastic qualified at the appropriate level and have been screened for their suitability to work with children.

 

Suitable clothing is required by the gymnast for their safety, please see our dress code found on our website.

Our club Leotard is available to purchase at reception, please check sizes and prices from the notice board.

 

The club has adopted the BG policies for health and safety, Safeguarding and Codes of Conduct for all officials, coaches, gymnasts and parents and must be adhered to at all times. By continuing membership with Sheffield Workshop, you are agreeing to the parents/gymnast Code of Conduct. Please read our Policies, Codes of Conduct and Privacy notice which is on our webpage.

Physical contact will be required, and only appropriate, non-invasive techniques will be used.

CCTV is in operation in reception for safety and security purposes.

 

GPDR

Sheffield Workshop is GPDR compliant. In order for Sheffield Workshop to comply with data protection regulations, it is necessary to obtain your written consent to use image or words for the purpose of promoting the club. You should only agree to Sheffield Workshop using your photograph, film or words if you feel completely happy to do so.

How we may use your photograph, film and words:

Sheffield Workshop may use your photograph, film and words for the purpose of promotion, annual Christmas displays, education and development of the club and gymnast e.g. to publicise events, in newspaper articles, magazines and other media such as websites and information leaflets. Photographs and words may be displayed in our reception area to share achievements of the gymnasts.

What if I change my mind?

 Once an article or image is published and in circulation (e.g. newsletters, website images) it can be copied and used by others. However, you can contact Sheffield Workshop at any point and ask us not to use your image or words for any new purposes. We will comply with this request and will also do our best to stop others using your images or words, although we cannot guarantee this. Please note we will be unable to remove images that have already been used in publications or publicity material.

If you do not withdraw your consent, we will retain any images for four years. After four years, images will be reviewed and will be deleted unless they are considered to be of historical importance to the club and are retained as part of the club’s archive.

We are more than happy to discuss any matters with you regarding your child (as long as we have a signed consent form from any child over 12 years of age) and please feel free to talk to us at any time.

Thank you
