Club Leaders are responsible for implementing this policy.

Physical punishment is never used. Volunteers and staff must be positive, rather than negative and good behavior is always encouraged. The volunteers and staff treat all the riders as individuals and encourage them to respect each other at all times.

Gateway Wheelers wholeheartedly supports the Children's Act guidelines. All staff
read and adhere to these guidelines, taking into account that sanctions applied in the case of unacceptable behaviour include:

• That action taken is fair, i.e. given at the time the incident occurs.
• The Club Leader is responsible for behaviour management issues and would handle any problems arising, in confidence.
• All volunteers and staff are consistent in their approach when dealing with behaviour issues.
• Behaviour management training is updated regularly.

If a rider does display unacceptable behaviour Gateway Wheelers volunteers/staff would:

• Remove and distract them from the situation. If they are of an age to understand, we would explain what they have done wrong and the reason why it is unacceptable.
• Distract them and they would be encouraged to ride next to someplay in another area.
• Make sure if they have hurt another child, the child is being comforted and the incident reported in the accident book.
• Always discuss continued unacceptable behaviour with the parents/carers/guardians, in confidence.
