ENGLAND ATHLETICS POLICIES & PROCEDURES
As an affiliated club we are constantly working towards the latest UK and England Athletics’ policies, procedures and guidelines to provide the best possible safeguards for protecting children in our club and the wider community.

SAFEGUARDING
If you think a child, young person or adult is at risk of significant harm or abuse, or require urgent protection, call the Police on 999 and/or your local Social Services.
If the matter is not immediate, please speak to the person on site responsible for safeguarding and welfare or contact a member of our Welfare Team by calling 07464 522426.
In either circumstance, please also complete the Safeguarding Incident form.
UK Athletics will work with the complainant, the club or organisation, the respondent, and any statutory agency that is appropriate in order to manage or address the concern. All safeguarding concerns are treated with confidentiality and information is only shared on a need to know basis.
SERIOUS MISCONDUCT
Serious misconduct is unacceptable or improper behaviour, especially by a club member (athlete, runner, volunteer, coach, official or paid person).
Examples of serious misconduct include (without limitations) theft, doping violations, fraud, physical violence, safeguarding policy breach, serious breach of applicable health and safety, gambling and/or ticketing regulation or any act or omission of the respondent which in the opinion of England Athletics, acting reasonable, brings or is likely to bring the sport of athletics in disrepute.
