| COST
The cost for Anchor
Boys is £1
per boy, per week.
Please note that payment is
required for all weeks,
since we still need to pay for overheads, such as insurance, heating
and lighting etc.
If money is a problem, please
let us know as we do not wish for finance to be a block to your son's
participation in the BB. We will keep this confidential .

BEHAVIOUR
It is important that parents and
guardians stress the importance of good behaviour on their boys.
Of course, we will not expect the boys to be angels, but in
fairness to everyone, it is important that a basic level of respect and
discipline is shown.
At the 3rd Yeovil Boys' Brigade, we reward
positive behavior mainly by verbally praising instances of good
behaviour, particularly when a boy has managed to alter poor behaviour.
In the event of extreme poor behaviour, a boy's parents or guardians
may be asked to take them home.

SAFETY
Safety is considered to be a high
priority.
The buildings and activities have been checked for safety
before the boys participate in them and leaders have a good knowledge
of first aid.
Parents and Guardians will fill in consent forms providing details of
any special medical requirements and this information will be treated
confidentially and with sensitivity.
Child Protection is important and in line
with the policies of the Boys'
Brigade, The Methodist Church and
Preston Road Church,
all staff and officers have had "Enhanced
Discosures" - the most in depth type of criminal record check avaliable
- carried out on them. The Church's Child Protection
guidelines, which we follow may be viewed upon request.

HOW
CAN PARENTS HELP?
By promoting regular
attendance at BB and most importantly letting us know if your son will
not be able to attend on a Tuesday evening.
