SAFEGUARDING

As a club, we have a duty of care to all our members — children, young people, and adults alike. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where everyone can enjoy swimming.

We want everyone in our swimming club to feel safe, happy, and respected.
Here’s what that means for you as members: 
​
👍 What We Promise
  • You have the right to feel safe at all times.
  • We will listen if you are worried.
  • We will act quickly to help keep you safe.
  • Everyone should be treated with kindness and respect.

🗣 If You’re Worried
  • Talk to our Welfare Officer – they are here to help - you can also email them [email protected]
  • You can also tell a coach, committee member, or trusted adult.
  • If something feels wrong, say something – it’s always okay to speak up.

👀 Things to Remember
  • Be kind to other swimmers.
  • Respect changing rooms and personal space .
  • Only share photos online if you have permission.
  • If you see something that makes you uncomfortable, tell someone straight away
  • It doesn't matter how big or small the problem - if you're worried, tell someone

Wave Power 2024: The Swim England child safeguarding policy and procedures


​Click the Wavepower image to be taken to the full ASA Safeguarding document 
Picture
Wavepower 2024 is the latest Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) Child Safeguarding Policies and Procedures publication which replaces all previous versions.
It has been produced to assist in safeguarding and protecting children in our sport and must be adopted by all ASA affiliated clubs and organisations.
Ensuring that children are safeguarded should be a key part of how our clubs and swim schools operate and helps to provide a safe, happy and fun environment in which children can learn to swim and develop their skills.
The responsibility to safeguard children does not belong to any one person, but instead belongs to everyone who plays a part in delivering our sporting activities. Wavepower is intended for anyone involved in these activities and offers practical guidance and information on mandatory requirements and good practice.
