Safeguarding

Safeguarding - The act of ensuring the protection and wellbeing of young or vulnerable people. This responsibility falls on each and every one of us.

​

Safeguarding Policy

​

The policy aims to avoid abuse of any kind against young or vulnerable people. Abuse can arise in a number of different ways - neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse or verbal abuse. The onus is on each and every one of us to identify such abuse and act on it.

​

To support this, Barkway Park Golf Club has adopted 2 safeguarding policies set out below. These are in keeping with England Golf's national campaign for all affiliated clubs to obtain accreditation in the SafeGolf scheme. SafeGolf is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf. Barkway Park Golf Club is actively seeking to gain accreditation under this scheme.
