Important Forms
We have 3 important forms on here that you might need to fill out. You'll find them on the links below and what they're for:
Event Evaluation Form
One of these forms needs completing by the team leader after every single event. This is anything we do with young people - from small groups to big events, from youth clubs to kids clubs.
The form is really important for 2 big reasons. First of all, for best practice it's good to reflect on what we're doing and how it went to help us give quality youth and kids work. We want to do things well. Secondly, it's massively important for safeguarding and accountability. It enables us to see what's been happening and gives the ability to record any incidents that happen at our events means we have a good professional list of event evaluations that we can reference to if needed.
This form is really important, it's not negotiable. Some weeks it might be really quick, others it might take a bit of time. But please, for your own best practice and protection, fill this form out after each event!
The Incident Reporting Form
This form is to record any key conversations we have had with young people or any incidents. If there is something you hear from a young person that you think might need reporting, fill out this form.
If there is something you see or hear that you think might need reporting, speak to your session leader and fill out this form. The form will then go through to the safeguarding team who will then review and make any necessary further support and actions.
The Electronic Communication Form
We need you to record any individual electronic communications you have with young people whether it be by email, text, facebook or other streams of communication. It's a really quick and simple form to show what you have discussed and when it was discussed. This is an important form to keep you and your young people safe when communicating in these ways.
