Safeguarding

We follow the Safeguarding requirements and procedures of the Lancashire Aikikai and the policies of the British Aikido Board.

 

Club Statement of Intent

Trafford Aikido believe all should enjoy Aikido in a safe and enjoyable setting particularly those for whom Safeguarding exists.   This approach helps us to achieve :-

  • Healthy personal development.
  • Positive and balanced relationships. based on mutual trust, fairness, respect and equality.
  • An environment:-
    • which makes Aikido fun and enjoyable.
    • where if abuse or bullying occurs they feel comfortable and safe to disclose.
    • where concerns over welfare are acted on and not ignored.
    • where no one is forced to do something they don't wish to in an Aikido setting.
  • That adults working with these groups understand their legal and moral responsibility and fulfil them.
  • Adults in the Club should not be placed in situations where allegations of abuse could be made.
  • Coaches are qualified and safeguard trained.
