Missing Children Policy for YSCLeague
Scope and Application:
Nimble Sports and Events Private Limited (Company) is responsible for the operation and management of Young Stars Cricket League “YSCLeague,” and this Missing Children Policy is adopted and implemented as a part of YSCLeague. The Company, by issuing this Missing Children Policy, aims to provide an effective means to ensure that all participants are safe and secure on the premises.
Conduct of Officials:
All officials of the YSCLeague are expected to follow the rules as outlined in this Missing Children Policy.
Staff members are expected to abide by the following:
a) Frequently count the number of children in their group to ensure that no one is missing.
b) Enforce a policy that no child may leave their group or the premises for any reason without informing the coach or other officials/volunteers/supervisors.
c) Enforce the practice that other children in the group should tell the officials if they notice that anyone else is missing in the group.
d) Not become so involved in the activity at hand that the staff member loses track of the participants who are waiting on the sidelines.
e) Not allow children to be idle for long periods; idle children look for something else to do and may wander off without even realizing they are leaving the group environment.
Protocol to Be Followed:
If a child goes missing, the following steps must be followed:
a) Inquire about the missing child and their whereabouts before reaching any conclusions.
b) Inform YSCLeague officials, who can start conducting an official search in and around the premises.
c) Monitor the entry and exit points.
d) Search the immediate premises and the surrounding perimeter.
e) If the child cannot be found despite all efforts, a complaint should then be lodged with the concerned authorities after consulting with the child’s guardian.
f) At any point in this process, if a person is spotted who appears not to belong in this environment, the officials or any other staff member must be alerted immediately.
Safety Standards:
Throughout the YSCLeague Tournament and Selection camps, the officials shall ensure that all safety standards are complied with. These would include the presence of paramedics/doctors, security guards, trained coaches, and proper equipment/kits to avoid the occurrence of any mishap.
Amendment & Interpretation:
a) The Missing Child Policy may be amended from time to time by the YSCLeague, with such amendments coming into effect on the date specified by YSCLeague.
b) The headings used for the various articles of the missing children policy are for guidance purposes only and shall not be deemed to be part of the substance of the missing children policy or inform or affect in any way the language of the provisions to which they refer.
c) If any article or provision of the missing children policy is held invalid, unenforceable, or illegal for any reason, the missing children policy shall remain otherwise in full force, except for such article or provision, which shall be deemed deleted insofar as it is invalid, unenforceable, or illegal.
Contact Information:
If a child goes missing from in or around the premises, an official shall be delegated the duty to take care of all information sent or received regarding such cases and to ensure that no false rumors are spread that might harm the image of YSCLeague.
