A child’s hours keep extending or a parent is told they cannot stay accessible. Nobody can explain the child’s breaks or supervision.
Illustrative situation. Children on set.
You might hear
“The adults are still working, so they can keep going too.”
What you can do
- Ask for the child-specific schedule and the named person supervising them. Do not use an adult crew schedule as the default.
- Check the applicable agreement with ACTRA before assuming a particular limit or access rule.
- If the child is distressed or unsafe, raise that immediately. A missing signature or an agreement dispute can be sorted out separately from an immediate safety need.
Example wording
“Please show me the hours, breaks and supervision arrangements for my child, and explain how I can stay accessible.”
Use your own words. You can take this to an adviser instead of the person involved.Keep a record
- Booking, age-specific schedule and actual hours
- Parent or chaperone arrangements
