Child Safeguarding Policy

NAC adheres to all standard measures and protocols mandated by the State of Karnataka under the POCSO Act to ensure the safety of its students. The academy expects all adults (parents and coaches) to understand and adhere to the following behavior expectations to ensure children’s safety.

Expectations for Parents

Parents of enrolled children are expected to:

1. Meet Child’s Needs: Ensure the child’s physical health and nutritional needs are met appropriately. Do not push children to starve or over-consume to boost performance.
2. Support Social-Emotional Well-being: Fulfill the child’s social and emotional needs. They should not be expected to isolate themselves from friends or social events. Regularly check in with your child about their social and emotional well-being.
3. Promote Healthy Competition: Encourage children to compete without harsh or unfair judgment. Provide feedback without harsh comments, and remember that it is okay for their performance to dip. The goal is for them to feel safe and invested in learning the sport.
4. Partner with Coaches: Collaborate with our coaches to help your child learn and enjoy swimming. Cooperate with feedback and recommendations, and express concerns openly. You and the coaches should act as a trusted team for the child.
5. Maintain Routine: Help your child maintain a routine and discipline that helps them be present and attentive in classes. Do this collaboratively and do not enforce rigid rules. Listen to their concerns and seek help from coaches to address them.

Discouraged Parent Behaviors

Parents are strongly discouraged from the following:

• Using harsh or abusive language toward your own or other children.
• Threatening or physically assaulting a child.
• Pushing the child or their coach toward excessive and intense practice sessions for performance gains.
• Engaging in arguments or unfriendly behavior with other parents or caretakers.
• Making open comparisons between children or their performance.
• Normalizing jokes, sarcasm, or any form of humor about a child’s personality, body type, or general appearance.
• Using labels or unfriendly gestures toward any child in the academy.

NAC is committed to ensuring children’s safety first and performance second. We will take action against physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect, if it is brought to our attention, as mandated by state law. By acknowledging these points, you agree to cooperate and adhere to these guidelines.

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Trust. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability of the Trust and its suppliers under any provision of these Terms will be limited to the amount you have paid through the Service or $100 USD if you have not made any purchases.

The Trust and its suppliers will not be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, data, or personal injury) arising from the use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, it will be modified to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. The failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms will not affect a party’s ability to exercise that right or require that performance later, nor will a waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
