Welfare
Safeguarding
Everyone at the club, especially children and young people, should be able to enjoy swimming in a safe environment.
Raising a concern
If you are worried about the welfare of a swimmer, or about the behaviour of anyone involved with the club, please speak to the club welfare officer. You can also speak to a coach or committee member, who will pass your concern on.
If a child tells you something worrying
- Listen and stay calm.
- Don’t promise to keep it a secret, and don’t investigate yourself.
- Report it promptly to the club welfare officer.
- If the child is in immediate danger, call 999.
