Code of Good Practice -
Children are currently legally defined as persons of less than 18 years of age. Vulnerable Adults are currently legally defined as vulnerable only if they are receiving health or personal care, but this club recognises that anyone can be subject to abuse and thus this policy should be read with adults as well as children in mind. References herein to children should be read as also applying to Vulnerable Adults where the latter can be reasonably identified as such by our members.
The Club is at present unable to cater for unaccompanied children. Whilst this situation might change at some future time, the following practice is advised.
Children attending the club must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or by their own Group Leader(s) in the case of groups. Members should not put themselves in the position of being alone with a child but should ensure that they are always in the open or within sight or hearing of other adults when interacting with young people.
Avoid allowing children to enter the clubhouse; where circumstance such as weather conditions result in children being allowed to enter the clubhouse their accompanying adult must also be present. As our current toilet facilities are some distance from our clubhouse and lawns, any children needing to use toilet facilities should be accompanied by their parent/guardian/Group Leader(s).
Physical contact, "horseplay", taunting, suggestive comments or other potentially inappropriate
behaviour should be avoided. If members observe this type of behaviour between members of a group of visiting children it should be drawn to the attention of their parents/guardians/Group
Leader(s) immediately.
All members should make themselves familiar with the Safeguarding Policy and are reminded that if a child reports an incidence of abuse to a member, the member should ensure that the conversation is only continued in an area within sight of others and that he/she never gives a promise of secrecy.
Reporting Procedure
If any form of abuse is observed, suspected or reported to a member it must be acted upon. An incident report form must be filled in by the reporting member and the Club Safeguarding Officer must be informed at the earliest possible opportunity. The Officer will then report the incident to the Club Chairman and together they will decide on the appropriate course of action -
Safeguarding Officer:
Olive Anscombe.
