2. SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND FOR THE PARENT
We are at all times aware of the safety of our children and we strive
to maintain a safe and relaxed environment by using the following
measures:
a) An entrance gate that can only be released from the office.
b) Children may only regularly be fetched by their parents or nominated and identified persons who have been introduced to the principal and staff.
c) Should an emergency come up and the child cannot be fetched by a known person, the parents, have to phone and identify the new appointed person by giving a description of the person and to ask the person to present an ID document. The parent must also provide the person with a secret password, which has to be verified at the office.
d) Regular updating of First Aid competency.
