​

We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of all children, young persons and adults at risk in our sport and our aim is to ensure all who participate in gymnastics have a safe, fun, positive experience and are able to fulfil their potential.

In order to help ensure a safe environment, we provide information and training to our coaches to enable them to respond appropriately if they are worried a child may be at risk or suffering abuse.

​

We adopt the British Gymnastics Health, safety and welfare guidelines.

We have a trained welfare officer who is the point of contact for any concerns regarding protection and welfare. Any issues will be dealt with sensitively, swiftly and confidentially.

​

Our welfare officer is Debbie Fokinther. Debbie has seen 4 children attend the Club. She still has one attending and another who has qualified as a coach with FSG. She is DBS checked and has completed British Gymnastics Courses required to hold this role: ‘Time to Listen’ and ‘Safeguarding & Protecting Children’.
