Accordingly, the individual club and lead instructor has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure that, when given the responsibility for children below the age of 18 or vulnerable adults, the highest standards of professionalism and care will always be exercised.

Our clubs are committed to the best practices which protect children and adults at risk from harm. Staff and volunteers accept and recognise their responsibility to provide an environment from which promotes their safety and protection at all times.

To achieve this, we will:

  • develop and awareness of the issues which may lead to children or vulnerable adults being harmed.
  • create an open environment, by identifying designated people for each club to whom the children can turn to if they need to talk.
  • adopt the B.T.C / T.A.G.B. safeguarding policies and guidelines which include codes of conduct for all members and all adults working with children and vulnerable adults within our clubs, including instructors, parents and volunteers.
  • have in place careful recruitment, selection and management procedures. These procedures will include regular support and supervision given to staff and volunteers.
