Welfare: Safeguarding children and young people
‘Working together to promote our young athletes enjoyment and safety’

At Castle Point Joggers we aim to provide our young athletes with a positive introduction to athletics in a safe and supportive environment. This will best be achieved through co-operation between the coaches, the parents/carers and the young athletes themselves

Remember:

  •   the welfare of the child or young person is paramount

  •   all children, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin religious beliefs and/or sexual

    identity have the right to protection from abuse or bullying.

  •   all suspicions and allegations of abuse , bullying and poor practice will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately

  •   all young athletes and adults are expected to show respect for each other and follow the codes of practice they agreed to on joining.
