Safe play for everyone

Safeguarding

We want everyone to enjoy badminton in a safe, respectful and supportive environment — especially junior players.

Our commitment

The club's published safeguarding statement says it is committed to providing members with a safe environment and has specific arrangements for players under 18.

Under 16? The club's published policy requires a parent or guardian to be present at all sessions for players under 16.

Recognising and reporting concerns

Members are encouraged to look out for signs that someone may need support. If you have a welfare concern, please raise it with the club's published welfare contact rather than trying to investigate it yourself.

For the full published safeguarding guidance, including expectations when communicating with children and young people, please use the club's official safeguarding page.

In an emergency

If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services. The club's welfare officer is the first point of contact for non-emergency safeguarding concerns relating to club activity.
