Safeguarding
Safeguarding Procedure
The full safeguarding policy is available on the noticeboard in the clubhouse and can be viewed and downloaded using the link here in the safeguarding section.
This procedure is to tell you what to do if you think a child or vulnerable adult needs to be safeguarded.
As we provide no activities for children and have no children as members or visitors at the club at the moment, this procedure will solely be concerned with vulnerable adults. If the club proposes activities for children, then safeguarding and child protection will be a part of the organisation of the event. This procedure will be updated should the need arise.
