Child Protection Policy

 

Market Drayton Swimming Club has adopted policies for working with children & young people set out by the ASA, in conjunction with the NSPCC.

 

• All coaching staff, committee members & poolside helpers are registered with the ASA, who as part of their child protection procedure maintain a child protection list. The purpose of this list is to advise clubs of people who should not work with children, because they have a criminal conviction, which could put children at risk.

 

• All coaching staff & pool side helpers must attend a child protection workshop as part of their induction. These workshops introduce best practice techniques for working with children & young people

 

• All members of the committee have had copy of ASA Child protection in swimming Procedures & Guidelines & have signed to say that they have adopted policy

 

• Important Telephone Numbers

Swim Line              0808 100 4001

NSPCC                   0800 800 500

 

• Swim Line details are displayed on club notice board & in members hand book.
