Safeguarding Policy Statement

. 

 

Our organisation acknowledges the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and is committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice and England Netball requirements. 

The policy recognises that the welfare and interests of children are paramount in all circumstances. It aims to ensure that regardless of age, ability or disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, socio-economic background, all children: 

• have a positive and enjoyable experience of sport at Lockleaze Foxes Netball Club in a safe and child centred environment 

• are protected from abuse whilst participating in Netball Training sessions or outside of the activity. 

We acknowledge that some children, including disabled children or those from ethnic minority communities, can be particularly vulnerable to abuse and we accept the responsibility to take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure their welfare.
