Information for Parents

Birmingham's Young Archaeologists Club is a branch of the Young Archaeologists’ Club. This is a UK wide organisation and is the junior section of the Council for British Archaeology. Most branches are run by volunteers and are based in museums, archaeological units, archaeological societies, schools and universities.

All volunteers are asked to make an application, which includes providing two references and going throughout he Disclosure Process of the Criminal Records Bureau / Disclosure Scotland. Training is also given on child protection issues. We ask all leaders to risk assess the branch activities. If you would like a copy of YAC’s child protection policy, then please contact Wendi Terry, Co-ordinator, Young Archaeologists’ Club.

Please ask your Branch Leader if you would like further information or if you would like to see a copy of a risk assessment. If you have any problems or are not happy in anyway, then please take this up with your Branch Leader. If this is not appropriate or you would like to discuss the matter further, then please contact Wendi Terry, Co-ordinator, Young Archaeologists’ Club.

YAC Branch Leaders freely give their time and commitment to running your branch. Please support them as much as you can. To enable your Leaders to give the best support to your child’s, then discuss your child’s individual needs.

We encourage all branch members to also join the UK Club, costing £12.00 (8-16) or £9.50 (under 8), for which they receive: Membership card and certificate, Quarterly Magazine with interesting articles and competitions, Discounted sites scheme, Access to archaeological holidays, Information about the Young Archaeologist of the Year Award.
