Hayle Canoe Club Child Protection and Harassment Policy
 

Hayle Canoe Club is fully committed to safeguarding the well-being of its members. All members should show respect and understanding for the rights, safety and welfare of others, and conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of the Club.

We believe that taking part in Paddlesport should be a positive and enjoyable part of children's lives and to achieve this have the following aims:

  • Club coaches should follow the BCU Code of Ethics

  • All Club coaches, helpers and officials working with young people should read and adhere to the BCU Child Protection and Harassment Policy.

  • The Club will follow the guidance of the policy in the event of any concerns or allegations.

  • The Club will ensure that anyone working with young people undertake a screening procedure.

  • All Club members are made aware of the Club Code/s of Conduct.

  • The Club will obtain written Medical details of young paddlers which will be made known to coaches where deemed appropriate and/or necessary.

  • The club will only use BCU qualified/updated coaches - unqualified coaches can only work alongside a qualified coach.

  • The club will encourage and support helpers to gain qualifications and assist coaches to stay up-dated.

  • The Club will identify a person whose role it is to deal with any issues concerning Child Protection and Harassment and notify this person to all members.

  • Anyone with concerns with respect to Child Abuse or Harassment should contact that person. If that person is unavailable they can contact the Club Chairman or the BCU Child Protection /Harassment Officer.

  • The Club will adopt and regularly review a Health and Safety Policy
