South Hams Taekwondo

Letter from Child Protection Officer

Dear Parent/Carer

P.U.M.A (Professional Unification of Martial Arts) is a forward thinking organisation and takes its responsibility to children and their safety very seriously.

Our dedicated children's syllabus has been researched and designed specifically to offer the best possible introduction to martial arts training.

In order for you and your family to receive the safest, best service and value for money, we need your help with the following:-

a) Each school will have different venue and lesson start/end times. Please ensure that your child arrives in good time for the start of the lesson and that you pick them up promptly at the end.

b) All parents are encouraged to stay and watch the lesson. Experience shows those children whose parents take an active role in their training progress further and faster than those who don't.

c)If you cannot stay for the lesson, please bring your child into the training hall and let the instructor know they are there.

d) All children need to be picked up from within the training hall.

e) P.U.M.A. instructors cannot take responsibility for any child not directly taking part in the lesson.

Feel free to talk to your instructor. They will be more than happy to answer any child protection questions you may have. You may ask to view a copy of the P.U.M.A. child protection policy at any time. Alternatively you can contact the P.U.M.A. child protection officer by e-mail at cpo@puma-uk.com

Thank you for your help and co-operation.
