Safeguarding Policy

This document describes our Golf Club’s commitment and approach to safeguarding all participants, staff, and volunteers. It explains why and how steps will be and/or have been taken to create and maintain an environment that allows all participants (children and adults) to enjoy golf safely. This policy/statement is supported by a range of related policies, procedures and guidance – these are all mandatory for all staff, volunteers or others acting on behalf of the club.

We acknowledge the club’s legal and moral responsibility to take steps to safeguard anyone using its facilities and services. We recognise that some groups of children and adults are particularly vulnerable to harm and abuse, and that particular care is needed when they take part in golf.

Although, in practice, there are some significant differences in safeguarding and responding to concerns about children and adults, the club’s overarching safeguarding aims, the values and principles underlying our approach, and many aspects of the good practice guidance provided, apply equally to both child and adult participants.
