Health and Safety with Children and Adults

Medical Information 

You must declare any relevant conditions that you have prior to the commencement of any service including, in particular, any serious mental health condition, epilepsy, heart condition or asthma. You may be requested to inform or seek consent from your GP or other medical practitioner and, where this is relevant, you must agree to do so before commencing the use of the service.

Participants with asthma

If you or your child has asthma, we ask that you ensure that your/their inhaler is to hand. During mindfulness and meditation, we may spend a little time connecting with our breath. For some people, children and adults alike, this can sometimes be problematic, and we ask that if you notice that this feels uncomfortable for yourself or your child, then you simply switch the focus from breath to perhaps focusing on pulse… or even the look of your/their fingertips. Although we will be keeping a look out for any issues, we ask that you monitor this from your end please, particularly where children are the main participants. If you could please also make Rachel Ashcroft Mindfulness aware via email ahead of the first session, that would be great.

Participants with epilepsy

Although very rare, it has been known that people who suffer with epilepsy can sometimes be triggered by deep relaxation during meditation and have a seizure during longer meditations. It is very important that you make Rachel McKenna Mindfulness aware via email ahead of the first session if you or your child have epilepsy so that we can advise you accordingly. We advise speaking with your GP as the first port of call.

Participants with psychological issues

It is very important that you make Rachel McKenna Mindfulness aware of any existing, or history of, any psychological issues with you or your child (where you or your child is the main participant).

Participants with mobility issues

Whilst the mindful movement that we do with be gentle, it is important that you and/or your child only ever move within the realms of your/their own comfort zone. This is by no means a competition, and all of our bodies move in their own way. Moving only in a way that feels good for you, without putting pressure or strain on the body, is what it’s all about. Please make Rachel McKenna Mindfulness aware of any mobility issues ahead of session one so that we can support you and/or your child accordingly.

Your involvement in a children’s session (anyone under the age of 18)

It is very important that you stay in the room with your child throughout the session please, even as a silent observer in the background. This ensures their safety and also that of the session facilitator.
