02 – Junior supervision notice during c-19, withdrawn on 19 September 2024 but not removed until 14 September 2025.
Junior supervision during the covid-19 outbreak
Please note that the Club’s supervision policy applicable to both the main Club and Junior Chess Coaching Club has been revised for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak to accommodate the restrictions on movement and numbers imposed by Wanstead House as follows:
Under 8 – attendance by invitation only and must be accompanied by a parent, carer or guardian who is an adult member of the Club.
8 to 13 year olds – unless accompanied by a parent, carer or guardian who is also an adult member of the Club, a prior “responsible adult” appointment of the Club supervisor is required for attendance.
14 years and older – as above or unaccompanied at parental discretion.
For all juniors where a parent, carer or guardian is not present a contact telephone number for the session must be supplied when registering your child’s attendance.
Club supervisor in this context means a member of the Club’s Safeguarding Team or Club steward.
Parents, carers and guardians, please refer to the additional safeguarding protocols below for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak, which are also available from the relevant attendance forms and the Junior Chess Coaching Club page.
