Policy statement
Usk Athletic Club has a duty of care to safeguard all children involved in all sports within each sporting section of Usk Athletic Club from harm. All children have a right to protection, and the needs of disabled children and others who may be particularly vulnerable must be taken into account. Usk Athletic Club will ensure the safety and protection of all children involved in sport within the club through adherence to the Child Protection guidelines adopted by the Club.
A child is defined as a person under the age of 18 (The Children Act 1989).
Policy aims
The aim of the Usk Athletic Club Child Protection Policy is to promote good practice:
• Providing children and young people with appropriate safety and protection whilst in the care of Usk Athletic Club and it’s sporting sections.
• The safety and welfare of children should always be of paramount importance, whatever the circumstances.
• A child, regardless of age, ability, gender, racial origin, religious belief and sexual orientation has a right to be protected from abuse.
• The rights, dignity and worth of a child should always be respected.
• That everyone with a role in working with children has a moral and arguably a legal responsibility to safeguard and promote a child's welfare particularly when it comes to protecting children from abuse.
• Allow all staff / volunteers to make informed and confident responses to specific child protection issues.
The Children Act 1989 states that anyone who is involved in the care of children should “do what is reasonable in the circumstances for the purpose of safeguarding or promoting the child's welfare”.
For further guidance on individual sports within Usk Athletic Club please visit the relevant sport section and check their CRB statement. These statements differ from sport to sport depending on the requirements of the UK governing body of each sport.
