Child Collection: 

INTADANCE TEACHER POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Teachers must ensure that each child has left a session with an adult or older child (agreed in advance with parent). It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to ensure the child is collected punctually at the end of the class or session. Should a parent/guardian not turn up to collect a child on time – this is the procedure to follow:

  • If the child cannot call the parent/guardian, Intadance Staff  will contact the parent/guardian directly to arrange collection.
  • If the parent/carer is not reachable, and you must leave, the emergency procedure is as follows:
  • Leave a message with the parent and contact the Principal  with all the information.  Wait until another member of the team can arrive.
  • If the parent/guardian is not reachable and there is no adult available, you must take the child to the nearest police station. Telephone 101. Inform the police of all contact details for the parent/guardian. Leave a message for the parent/guardian to say where the child will be.

Booking:

Intadance does not provide drop-in classes for children and young people on all term time courses. All courses must be booked in advance. New students may join courses during the term subject to availability and authorisation of the Principal. If there are no spaces on a requested course when booking, then the Principal will aim to provide an alternative option where possible.

Payments

All classes are charged termly and fees are to be paid in full via Bank Transfer within 7 days of receipt of Invoice.

Non-payment

If payment is outstanding, Intadance reserves the right to withhold services. Every attempt will be made not to discuss monies owed with children, although in extreme circumstances (especially when children arrive without supervision) this may have to be the case.

All Invoices should be paid within 7 days of Invoice date unless otherwise discussed or a payment plan is in place outside of our Terms and Conditions. One reminder will be sent and then if Invoice still remains unpaid a Final Reminder will follow whereby if account not settled, By Return, interest will be charged calculated at 10% daily for up to 7 days late and then 20% daily thereafter.

The Principal may share data with debt collection agencies in order to re-coup monies owed.

Cancellation

Once you have completed our Registration Form this confirms you have signed up for on going lessons. To cancel this contract a minimum of one terms notice should be given for each class taken, if this notice is not given then you will have to pay a Terms fees in lieu of same.

Occasionally some courses may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond Intadances control. The Principal  will endeavour to contact paid customers and will either offer an exchange for the course or, in rare cases of a cancellation, a full refund will be given.

The Principal reserves the right to cancel a course if there are fewer than seven participants on a course and the above efforts will be made to place a student in an alternative course or offer a pro-rata refund where appropriate.

If a single class does not take place due to circumstances beyond our control, we will endeavour to reschedule.
