CLUB STATEMENT
Following recent news in the press regarding current and former members, the Club assures all members that welfare and safeguarding matters are taken very seriously to ensure there is a safe environment for all. The Club follows UKA Guidance on Codes of Conduct for athletes and volunteers, and DBS checks for all volunteers with a UKA qualification.

Earlier this year the Club started a consultation with members as it approaches its 150th anniversary. Alongside this we will reflect how the Club and UKA dealt with past issues, and ensure that current welfare and safeguarding procedures reflect best practice going forward. If members or their families have any concerns they should speak with the Club Welfare Officer – Job King, and for all serious matters raise directly with UKA Welfare or the Police.
