Safeguarding Policies & Procedures

Burslem Golf Club is committed to protecting all Adults, Young People & Children from abuse or discrimination. Everyone should be able to enjoy golf in a safe environment. We all have a responsibility to protect and safeguard children and adults at risk.

Safeguarding in golf
If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child in golf, or outside the sport, or concerns about the behaviour or practice of a coach or organiser, or anyone else involved in the sport, talk to our governance team on 01526 351824 or email safeguarding@englandgolf.org.

If you have immediate concerns about the welfare of any child or adult, contact the police on 101 or ring the NSPCC 24-hour free helpline on 0808 800 5000.

Concerns might include:

* Bullying of children by their peers or by adults
* Individuals exploiting their position to gain access to children
* Placing unrealistic performance expectations on children
* Lacking awareness of the needs for safeguarding
* Poor planning
