Involving your Child
Please show them OSM and go through the badge section - they will be able to see where they are at with their personal badges, engaging them and helping to give them personal goals to achieve.
They can also look at their activity program and see what events have been planned for them to take part in.
Important
It's essential that you check and update your child's details regularly as we use OSM to plan all of our activities and events, looking at any allergies or special needs that are required for us to ensure inclusivity.
