Safeguarding & Policies

 The Swim England Child Safeguarding Policy

Swim England believe that all children involved in its organisations have the right to stay safe and have fun. Amongst other things sport develops physical skills, self-esteem and the ability to be a team player, as well as providing an opportunity to achieve individual success.

Every club should have a Welfare Officer and every SwimMark club must have a Welfare Officer. The Welfare Officer role is essential in providing a first point of contact for children and adults within the club who have a child safeguarding or welfare concern.
