Our approach

Safeguarding is part of good instruction.

A safe club is built through clear expectations, appropriate conduct, good communication and adults who know how to respond when a concern is raised.

01

Clear reporting

Students, parents and carers can raise a concern directly and in confidence.

02

Appropriate standards

We maintain safeguarding practices designed to protect children, young people and adults at risk.

03

Independent support

BMABA CIC provides an independent safeguarding route if you would rather not contact the club directly.

Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts

Supported by recognised safeguarding standards.

The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts helps parents and carers identify martial arts clubs suitable for children or adults in their care. Nishikan maintains safeguarding practices in line with the standards expected through the scheme.

Our safeguarding policies are available to students and parents through the Martialytics app and portal.
