How does the YMCA address safety on field trips?
When we are on field trips, we take all of our children’s files with us. We frequently take attendance, and use a method called “name-to-face” checks – that means that when we take attendance, we aren’t just calling names and listening for the child to say “here.” We want to see who is saying it. We do this every time we take attendance, and as the children get on the bus. When we are on swimming field trips, we expect our staff to be in the water interacting with the children – but not all at once. Some staff will be in the water, while others will be equally spaced around the side of the pool monitoring the children. You will not see our staff lounging or sunbathing at the pool. We help the children apply sunblock before we leave for the pool, and about every hour while we are at the pool. We always check restrooms before a child goes into a restroom in a public place. We want to know exactly who is in the restroom before they go in. We monitor who goes in and out of the restroom whi
