Safeguarding children and young people

Children and Young People greatly benefit from taking part in leisure activities, which give them the opportunity to be healthy and active, to have fun, to learn new skills and to make new friends.

We view the safeguarding and protection of children and young people extremely highly and ensure that all steps are taken to keep children and young people safe. As such we welcome any questions you may have about our activities and issues around safety.

• AVDC has a Child Protection policy

• All coaches and leaders have up to date qualifications

• All staff and volunteers have attended recognised training courses in child protection and health and safety

• All staff and volunteers will have been assessed with regard to their suitability to work with children and young people. This includes a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check, reference check and interview.

If you have any questions regarding Safeguarding children and young people please contact us on the details at the bottom of the page.
