AFD wish to promote the health and wellbeing of each other through the provision of opportunities to take part in athletics safely whilst feeling protected from harm and/or abuse.
Aldershot, Farnham & District therefore supports UK Athletics (UKA) safeguarding policies to ensure everyone involved in our sport plays a part to safeguard and protect all children and adults from physical, sexual, emotional harm and abuse.
The child and adult safeguarding policies and regulations set out by UKA and are found in this following link https://www.uka.org.uk/governance/safeguarding_2021/ inform our own club welfare policy and members (affiliated or not) understanding of their responsibility and duty of care.
We deem it paramount for everyone to recognise and report a concern about a child or adult quickly and consistently and hope as well as understanding your ability to be safeguarded, you will equally safeguard others.
Please find attached our club specific safeguarding guidelines.
Thank you for your co-operation,
Club Welfare Officers and Chair
