Child
Protection BLTSC
is committed to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment for children
and young people to enjoy using the Club and playing racket sports.
We
do this by:
- Appointing
a Child Protection Officer who is responsible for children and young people, who
will take central responsibility for child safety and who will act as the main
point of contact for parents, children and outside agencies.
- Recognising
that all children and young people, have the right to freedom from abuse and to
be safe and secure.
- Ensuring
that all our coaching staff are CRB checked and by, as a Club, accepting responsibility
for helping to prevent the abuse of children and young people in our care.
- Ensuring that
junior members and other juniors and young people have specific programmes designated
for them, with adequate supervision.
- By
circulating this policy statement to all Club Officials, Staff and adult members
and urging them all to be watchful for potential concerns.
- Responding
swiftly, appropriately and with proper regard to confidentiality, to all suspicions
or allegations of abuse and by providing parents and children with the opportunity
to voice any concerns they may have.
- Ensuring
access to confidential information regarding child protection is restricted to
the Child Protection Officer or the appropriate external authorities.
- Reviewing
the effectiveness of our Child Protection Policy and related issues annually.
