If a child has gone missing from a group during land-based activities, the Junior Activities Chair and WSS must be informed immediately. The lifeguard or Patrol Captain on duty is also to be notified. This can be done by the WSS via face-to-face or radio.
SLSQ has developed two comprehensive procedures to support members in the vent of a lost/missing person. Both documents can be found the the Patrol Operations Manual via the below links:
Lost/Missing Persons
Shallow Water Rescue
A simple flowchart has also been developed to support JACs, Coaches and Age Managers where the person may go missing at a Nippers Activity.
