safeguarding & Club policies
policy and procedure
Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club follows the main SLSGB Safeguarding Guidance document which allows us, as a community of lifesavers, trainers, and coaches to actively promote and sustain a culture of safeguarding for our young people and volunteers.
With a significant proportion of our members aged under eighteen, Safeguarding is a top priority for all in our club. With a high proportion of all our activities, whether on the beach or in the pool, involving young people, the need for well communicated and understood guidelines along with well delivered safeguarding is paramount.
Our Safeguarding Guidance document, alongside our Club Policy’s document, aims to provide a clear policy and framework to enable Clubs to build a strong safeguarding culture to fulfil a duty of care to all their members for implementation and delivery of current, robust safeguarding and policy procedures.
Most of good safeguarding is common sense. Lifesaving has strong roots in family participation and values. Our aim with your help is to build on those values to create a culture throughout our members of supporting best safeguarding practice.
