Wellesbourne Bowls Club Safeguarding

The Club has a duty to ensure the wellbeing and safety of all who use it - all adults and children, not just those who may be deemed as being vulnerable.

Everyone involved in the Club has a responsibility to be vigilant and report any signs or suspicions of:

• Physical Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Domestic abuse
• Neglect and self-neglect
• Bullying, which has many forms, including physical, emotional and verbal
• Modern Slavery
• Discrimination (racism, gender, disability under the Equality Act)
• Financial/Material Abuse

If you suspect a safeguarding issue or someone discloses something to you, do not deal with yourself or withhold it. You must pass on the information to the club’s Safeguarding Officer who will use the proper procedures and channels to deal with it.

The Club's Safeguarding Officers are Julia Joy and David Burrows.
