SAFEGUARDING
We take safeguarding very seriously and maintain the highest professional standards.
The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created to assist parents and carers when searching for martial arts clubs suitable for children or adults in their care.
Funded by the National Lottery, this scheme was launched by the Sports Minister in early 2018 and is delivered through a group of partners and experts in safeguarding including the Child Protection in Sport Unit (NSPCC) and Sport England.
The scheme supports martial arts clubs and providers to implement and maintain high quality safeguarding practices and where these have been demonstrated, the club/provider is able to display our Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts logo. This will never be a substitute for you as a parent or carer making your own assessment of the club/provider but you will know that they have successfully demonstrated to us that they have a good working knowledge of quality safeguarding practices.
