Child protection policy.
The Club aims to create an enjoyable environment for all juniors who wish to take part in fencing or other sport and social activities at the club.
We believe that children and young people have the right to be safe, secure and free from threat.
We believe that young people have the right to be treated with respect, and to have their concerns listened to and acted upon.
We will ensure that the club provides for the needs of junior members through specific programmes, designated facilities, and safe practice.
We have adopted the detailed practice and procedures set out in British Fencing Child Protection Policy and Procedures. We will offer help and support when a child or young person appears to be at risk or tells us that they are affected by abuse.
We will take steps to ensure that any club volunteers or professionals working with children are suitable to do so, through the use of references and background checks. We will ensure that all relevant people have been vetted and approved through the Criminal Record Bureau disclosure process.
The club has two adult members who are specifically responsible for children, young people and child protection:
They are : Isabelle Niño and Helen Thouless
They can be contacted at: [email protected] and [email protected]
