    Club Affiliation

    A First Claim member is one who is eligible to compete for the club in all competitions. An athlete may only belong to one club as first claim.

    If your child is already a member of another athletics club, he/she you can join Poole Runners as a Second Claim member. Second claim members may only compete for Poole Runners events that their ‘first claim’ club are not competing in.

    DECLARATION BY THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE ATHLETE

    Please read and accept the following statements by ticking the acceptance box at the bottom of the form. If you have any concerns or need to highlight any conditions that you must attach to these statements, please make them known before, or at the time that you submit this form.

    1. Data protection, information management and confidentiality.
    I understand and accept how the information provided on this form will be managed and that if there are any changes, I will make the club aware by writing to Matt East or Joanna Brodie and briefing club-coaches as soon as possible.

    2.Medical Management.
    My child is in good health and can take part in athletics training and events.

    In the event my child needs FIRST AID or EMERGENCY MEDICAL/DENTAL TREATMENT when participating in events and training activities as a member of POOLE RUNNERS, any officer of the club or other adult acting on behalf of the activity, is authorised to ensure that appropriate medical or dental treatment is provided for my child, to protect their health and wellbeing.

    Where the potential treatment requires intervention by healthcare professionals, I will be contacted using all reasonable methods, specifically using the contact details provided with this form; if I cannot be contacted, my authorisation extends to all necessary medical intervention including the prescription of any medication/anaesthetic necessary for the treatment of my child, if so deemed by an authorised healthcare professional and not previously contra-indicated.

    Any changes to my child’s medical status or the scope of this authorisation will be immediately communicated to the club.

    3. Liability
    I understand that Club or Team personnel will take every reasonable precaution to prevent accidents from happening and that belongings are cared for. While club staff are conducting themselves within the stated scope of their role for the club I will not hold them liable for any loss or damage to equipment, or injury to my child.

    4. The Use of Photography and Film
    I am aware of and am satisfied with the club’s policy regarding child protection particularly that “Photographs, videos, or other images of young people will not be taken without the consent of the parent or guardian of the child”.

    I, therefore consent to Poole Runners using photographic or video footage of my child’s involvement in athletics.
    Once taken, the Club will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any images are used solely for reasons that support the promotion of the club, its events and activities only, including promotional material for club events where permission is given and within closed groups on Facebook.

    If I become aware that images are being used outside of this remit, or I withdraw my permission for my child’s images to be used in this way, I will communicate this to the club.

    5. Anti-Bullying Policy
    Poole Runners are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all our members so they can participate in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our club. If bullying does occur, all athletes or parents should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. We are a TELLING club. Please acknowledge by signing below that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the club welfare officer or any committee member; by signing you are also indicating that if you have any concerns about bullying but don’t feel you can have the opportunity to raise them in person, then email details of your concerns to the address above and the U18 Chairman and Secretary will address your concerns in the strictest confidence.

    6. Adherence to Poole Runners & UKA Code of Conduct and Rules
    I acknowledge and agree with the club’s ethos of fair play and inclusion for all its members. I agree that a good standard of behaviour is expected always, from all members and their families, when attending events or training supported by the club. The club has published rules[1] and adheres to the UKA code of conduct[2] which applies to athletes, parents and coaches. I agree that my child will abide by these rules.
