The Friends of MCSBC are hoping to see all athletes and their families at the event. Thames Valley Park Regatta J18 2- : PA, DB Event website is here, more details to follow in the days before the event. Thurs 29 May CRB checks (Criminal Records Bureau). The County Council, who have to approve all our trips, are now insisting on the letter of the policy which requires all accompanying adults to have a Monmouthshire County Council sanctioned CRB check. This recently led to the Council refusing to allow an experienced serving police officer to be be a "responsible adult" on a trip, because he did not have this exact document! I ask that all parents who feel able to accompany a trip (probably just one a year of around 17 total days of events) have a CRB check completed now (it is currently free, but charging starts in a few weeks), as they take 4-8 weeks to be returned. The responsibility is as "in loco parentis" and essentially covers contact with the school should a significant incident occur. The school would then advise appropriate action. I will have a large number of forms for completion at the Friends' meeting on Wed 4th Jun (held at school, near Reception). This requires you to also provide proof of identity as per this list (see page 3 of the linked document) from the CRB. If you are unable to be at the meeting, but feel that you would be able to accompany a trip in the future, please let me know and I will arrange to complete the paperwork with you separately. If you already have a Monmouthshire County Council CRB check, all we need is the Disclosure Number (at the top of the form) to "link" you into the trip approvals process. Assuming Geoff is able to return to work after half term, I anticipate that the National Championships (Thurs 24th- Sun 27th July) will provide the principal need for parental support, with a female adult needed. This could be covered by more than one "overlapping shift".
