Welfare and Safeguarding

Our Athletic Club aims to create an environment where everyone involved in athletics feels safe and secure to enable them to achieve their potential – to run, jump and throw, to coach, officiate or to support those who do.

Welfare covers a range of issues such as safeguarding and protecting children, anti-bullying, equity, poor practice in coaching and disciplinary and grievances matters.

​It encompasses policies and procedures to set out minimum standards of expectations, such as codes of conduct, procedures to follow for dealing with child protection concerns, other welfare issues or complaints, and to ensure that our Club meet their statutory responsibilities to safeguard and protect children.


All qualified coaches and coaching assistants are DBS checked and have completed England Athletics Safeguarding training.   All volunteers need to fill in a volunteer disclosure form which should be returned to the Welfare officers via the email address below.

If you need to contact us regarding any welfare or safeguarding issue, please speak to  Helen (Welfare) or Mandy (Coach/Chair) on a club night or use this email
