Safeguarding
The Safeguarding Officer acts as the first point of contact for all safeguarding enquiries within the Club and to ensure that welfare is considered in all aspects of the Club activities. If you have a concern about a child, young person or vulnerable adult or a concern about poor practice/possible abuse by adults working with children or vulnerable adults, you MUST report it to the Club Safeguarding Officer. ‘Never do nothing’ - it is every adult’s responsibility to safeguard children and adults at risk.
