________________________________________________________________________________ Child Protection ________________________________________________________________________________
The welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility, particularly when it comes to protecting children from abuse. Everyone in fencing - administrator, club official, coach, parent, friend, children themselves, everyone - can help. Abuse can occur anywhere there are children - at home, at school, in the park, at the club. Sadly, there are some people who will seek to be where children are simply in order to abuse them. Everyone in British Fencing has a part to play in looking after the children with whom we are working. This is both a moral and arguably a legal obligation. The Children Act 1989 indicates that anyone who has the care of children should "do what is reasonable in all circumstances for the purpose of safeguarding or promoting the child’s welfare." These child protection procedures stem from the following principles:
British Fencing will support anyone who, in good faith, reports his or her concerns that a child is at risk of, or may actually be, being abused.
