Staffing policy

Ratios of staff to children;

Brilliant Me (5-7): 1 to 15

Life Skills (8-11 and 12-15): 1 to 15

We will aim to have a volunteer helping you on all courses, no matter booking numbers, but this cannot be guaranteed

No Role Model will ever deliver a course entirely alone at a venue, without any other adult at the venue

Please note that the below is based on courses being 5 hours long each day.
