Safeguarding code in martial arts

What is the safeguarding code in martial arts?

The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created to reward martial arts club/organisations and individuals who exercise good safeguarding practice in their delivery. It helps to demonstrate that you work to protect the children, young people and adults that are involved in your activities, as well as those coaches/instructors who are working with them.

The Safeguarding Code exists to reward deliverers who ensure that their coaches, instructors and volunteers have confidence and knowledge about how to report safeguarding concerns, and participants, the required information and suitable environment to enable them to report their own welfare concerns.

To complete the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts process The Safety Box was required to demonstrate good practice and working knowledge of a number of subjects within the duty of care area of sport delivery.
