Information for parents
YMCA is dedicated to the highest standards of safeguarding, overseen by our Director of Safeguarding and Advocacy. The venue can only be accessed by signing in and out, and parental consent is required before a young person can do that for themselves. Our staff are qualified, following robust, audited processes, meaning your children are safe while pursuing something meaningful after school and at weekends. Our team are always there to guide and mentor, so your children will be supported at all times.
If you have any questions, please email memberships@ymcans.org and we’ll be happy to help.

Do my parents/carers have to sign me in/out? Can I walk home on my own?
Parents need to sign young people in/out each day, but if you’d prefer to come and go on your own there’s a form for parents to sign saying that’s okay.
-
Do I need to sign in?
It’s really important we know who is in the Village at any time so we can keep everyone safe and accounted for. Please sign in and out with the session coordinator every day.
-
What do I need to bring with me?
- Keep an eye on the weather and make sure you bring the right kind of clothing.
- A water bottle and snack are also recommended.
- YMCA can’t take responsibility for any lost/damaged personal property brought to the Village

Can I stay in the games room all evening?
You can choose how to spend your time at the Village. We encourage trying new things for all the satisfaction they can bring you, but we don’t tell you what to do. You’re more than welcome to relax and socialise in the games room as much as you’d like.
