Safeguarding Policy

To prioritize safeguarding for all our swimmers, we will:

• Acknowledge that every child, irrespective of age, gender, race, religion, ability, or disability, deserves to enjoy lessons in a safe environment and be shielded from harm.

• Ensure that all team members undergo proper training, background checks, and adhere to necessary safeguarding practices.

• Provide team members with appropriate training, codes of conduct, and best practices to follow.

• Guarantee that all team members offer a positive, safe, and enjoyable experience for all children.

• Handle all child safeguarding matters, including concerns about child welfare or protection, in accordance with our guidelines and procedures.

• Offer team members a secure and confidential channel to voice concerns about a child's welfare.

• Maintain confidentiality appropriately and in the child's best interests.

• Keep all documents related to child safeguarding securely stored.
