Child Protection

Hampstead Bowmen believes that when dealing with children and young people their welfare must always be of paramount importance.  We are committed to providing an environment where children and young people can learn and participate in archery free from harassment and abuse.  All those people working with children and young people have a moral responsibility to safeguard and promote a child and young person’s welfare.

This club has adopted the Archery GB policy for Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults to ensure peace of mind for adults, children, young people and vulnerable adults and it can be viewed here.

We would like to advise parents that:

• 1. All members with “Regular Access” to children and young people will go through a screening process.
• 2. The club has a policy of zero tolerance of bullying.

• 3. We Treat children/young people/disabled equally and with respect and dignity.

• 4. We always put the welfare of each child or young person first, before winning or achieving goals.

• 5. We aim at making sport fun, enjoyable and promote fair play.

• 6. We always work in an open environment (e.g. avoiding private or unobserved situations encouraging open communications with no secrets).

• 7. All complaints or concerns can be voiced and dealt with confidentially.
