International Bookings

Special requirements
DWSS recognises that the needs of individual children vary, and will endeavour to accommodate children with specific needs and/or medical conditions within the Soccer School environment. It is our policy not to exclude any child due to specific needs and/or medical conditions wherever possible.
It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform us of any medical conditions and special educational needs or disabilities, whether booking online or over the phone, so we can discuss how best to accommodate the child, and consider whether any reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure they are able to fully participate and enjoy the training sessions within the staffing ratios provided for their age group. The needs of each child vary so decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and depend upon the level of support each individual child may require.
We are not able to provide additional staff to support a child above our standard ratios 1:12 for 4 to 5-year olds, 1:16 for 6-7-year olds and 1:20 for 8 years old and over, irrespective of any specific needs or medical conditions. Where we feel that a child is not coping within these ratios, we reserve the right to ask the parent/carer to come and collect their child. No refund will be available.
Health and Safety
All venues have been subjected to a risk assessment prior to becoming a DW Soccer School venue. Prior to each session, the venue will be checked for any potential hazards which may affect the safety of the group and ensure that the area is safe to go ahead.
In the event of the fire alarm sounding, all hirers plus children they are responsible for must vacate the building and muster at the furthest end of the school drive. Each Hirer is responsible for registering their members and advising the coach leader of any missing persons.
All users should wear appropriate footwear in the facility.
DWSS will not be responsible for any injury, illness, loss or damage.
It is the responsibility of the person making the booking to ensure that all details provided are accurate, in particular full information about each child, including medical and other special educational needs, and emergency contact information. If we do not have all this information before the training session starts, your children will not be allowed to train.
DWSS requires that all children who are ill or infectious be kept home for the full duration of their ailment, and for 48 hours after the last symptom occurs. DWSS will only administer medication if it has been prescribed by a doctor or other healthcare professional and we have a signed consent form from the primary carer.
In the event of an accident, first aid will be administered to children in our care, and the emergency services will be called if necessary.
Essential prescribed medication including EpiPen’s must be handed in to the DWSS coach for safe-keeping. All DWSS First Aid policies are in line with Ofsted recommendations.
DWSS operates on a privately hired faculty which is also used by other personnel. DWSS will never leave your child unsupervised but we cannot be responsible for the actions of the other personnel.
In the event of an emergency DWSS may have to ask other personnel on site to assist in the matter to facilitate the safety of the child/children.
In the event of any suspicious activity is suspected that could endanger the safety of the children attending DWSS, we will immediately remove the children from the environment to a pre-planned meeting point and inform the police immediately.
All children MUST be collected by the session finish time (unless timings are otherwise specified at time of booking). If for any reason you are unable to collect by then, we ask that you call the Head Coach or Head Office as soon as possible. A member of staff will wait with your child until they are collected.
