Safety checklist

Physical, emotional, and relational safety before every session.

0 / 8 ready

Environment is clearFloor dry, exits visible, hazards moved, temperature and noise tolerable.
Equipment is right and intactAge-appropriate, no broken edges, enough for the group so waiting does not become chaos.
I know medical and sensory needsAllergies, asthma, seizures, hearing, vision, and sensory avoidances are on a card you can see.
First aid and emergency planKit reachable. Phone reachable. You know who to call and how to leave the space.
Opening ritual is readySame start every time: name, body check, one song or one movement. Predictability is safety.
Choices and consent are built inA child can sit out, pick a station, or say no to touch. You will honor it.
Language is strength-basedNo shaming, no public comparison, no 'what's wrong with you.' Name what you want to see.
Supervision matches the riskEyes on the whole group. Spot high equipment. Ratios that let you actually see.
