> If you are an spa these issues should have been covered fairly comprehensively on the course.
Well, yes - but perhaps not completely - there are grey areas. And my assessment was a long time ago - one tries to stay current, but things do change.
> You do have a duty of care, but if, like you say are an experienced spa then I would hope you would understand the risks associated of working in that context.
"Like I say" I am indeed an experienced instructor, confident about running such a session, and understand the risks involved, so your hopes are well-founded! My post was about the issues surrounding possible litigation following an accident. It's bound to cross one's mind, especially in view of the fact that this particular group looks set to expand to include my friends cousin (from the USA) and her family - I don't know them personally at all.
> The parents being there negates any licencing issues. Insurance is up to you, I wouldn't bother, but I understand the risks and the responsibilities.
Thanks for the info.
