Acocks Green YBC

 

 

Many sports have developed codes of conduct in relation to child protection, based on the principle that sports organisations have a duty of care to safeguard children. This includes taking into account the needs of disabled children and others who may be particularly vulnerable

​

This Club Supports and adheres to the Safeguarding Policies of the British Ten Pin Bowling Association

​

Additionally we have developed our own Safeguarding Policy which is regularly reviewed and updated if necessary

 

All of our Officials, helpers and Instructors are licenced by The BTBA and have undergone advanced Police DBS checks.

​

Our Safeguarding officer has taken numerous courses on Child Protection including the NSPCC

​

A copy of our Safeguarding Policy and Complaints Procedure is posted on the Club notice board . If any members parent/guardian wishes a PDF copy they only have to us an email or message on our FaceBook Page and we will get one sent out ASAP.  You can also find the full version here
