PICKLEBALL ENGLAND is committed to continuous improvement
Earlier this year, we commissioned a review of our Safeguarding Policies and Procedures to help identify future requirements to enable us to work towards best in class practices and meet the new BSI standard. We have now finalised our new Safeguarding Policy and Processes. It is one document rather than two but with two processes separating out children and young people. We welcome input on the Policy through our safeguarding@pickleballengland.org email address.
Safeguarding Statement
PickleballEngland and everyone working on behalf of the organisation aims to protect children and young people and all its players from harm whilst enjoying pickleball.
We believe that children and young people should never experience abuse of any kind.
We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people to keep them safe.
If you have any concerns, please email our Designated Safeguarding Officer Stuart Trayler using safeguarding@pickleballengland.org.
You can find our Safeguarding Policies and procedures here.
