Overnight Stays

confirm the dates, location, and duration. You should also conduct a risk assessment,
identify suitable venues and facilities for both fixtures and accommodation and consider the
following:

• How much will it cost? How much spending money is required?
• What insurance cover is required?
• Supervision of children, both playing and non-playing time.
• Catering for all food requirements.
• Communication with parents (see above)
• Ensure a list of the team and staff is left, with contact number and address of the
accommodation
• Ensure that there are emergency contact numbers for all the team and staff.
• An itinerary giving as much detail as possible.
• Emergency procedures and telephone contacts.
• Codes of contact for both staff and children.
• Welfare and child protection procedures.
