Child Protection

Hirers who arrange activities for others Children, must demonstrate to the Memorial Hall Committee, that they have a Child Protection Policy plus Criminal Record Bureau checks and Independent Safeguarding Authority registration, as appropriate.

Hirers who sub-hire eg childrens entertainers are responsible for ensuring that these persons are similarly checked/registered.   

The City of York Council website has appropriate guidance for intending activity providers,  at Safer Children York

 The Memorial Hall Committee is currently drafting an internal Child Protection Policy. This will mandate the requirements of the Children's Act and associated legislation upon relevant hirers.
