Parents or Caregivers will be contacted immediately to collect the child. The child will no longer be able to attend any of Dynamix activities.

Behaviour Concerns

Here at Dynamix we have a 3-step warning process for any child that is displaying behaviour issues. Depending on the incidents a discussion will be had with parents/caregivers, programme supervisors and management. A behaviour management plan can be created with idea’s and options to help with behaviours. This plan would be put together with the input of parents/caregivers, staff and management.either of the below warnings can be issued.

  • Verbal warning
  • Written warning
  • Final written warning

The last step is that care will no longer be provided.
