Child Protection Policy
KA Leisure has ‘signed up’ to the 2006 Accord for Protection of Children in Sport which reinforces the Company’s commitment to provide a suitable and safe environment for children to participate in physical activity and sport.
This is a new initiative through a partnership of Children 1st and sportscotland to support organisations in developing provisions for the protection of children.

Swimming Pool Child Admission Policy
Purpose
The purpose of the Child Admission Policy is to safeguard the group of pool users who are most at risk i.e. young children.
It is not intended to stop children having fun and enjoying swimming, nor is it intended to make life difficult for parents/carers.
These guidelines are designed to be applied under normal circumstances and may be adjusted to accommodate periods of high bather loads e.g. Aqua Fun sessions.
