Information for parents, guardians and carers

Open access

The Lift youth programme is open access and young people can come and go as they please.

We ask that all children and young people using the centre fill in a registration form which can be done on the first visit. Young people aged 13+ can complete one for themselves. For children aged 12 years old this needs to be completed by a parent. 

Illness or emergency

There are qualified first aiders on duty.

If a young person is not feeling well for any reason they should not attend.

In the case of a personal emergency we will endeavour to make contact with the nominated emergency contact on the registration form. 

If the building has to close for any reason, young people will be expected to make their own arrangements to get home. Use of a mobile phone will be provided on request.

Safeguarding

All Isledon staff are DBS checked on a regular basis. Youth workers also attend training provided by the Islington Safeguarding Children Partnership.

Our Designated Safeguarding Person is Judith Samuel who can be contacted on 07825 098689 or emailed at judith.samuel@isledon.co.uk

Support for Parents

We know that being a parent is not always easy and that all families need extra support at some stage. We are at hand to provide advice and programmes that can bring about positive change for families and young people. Typical issues that we can help with include improving school attendance, reducing risky behaviour and increasing aspirations.

Parents who would like to speak to a youth worker please contact us.
