Safeguarding is the preventative measures that Archery GB and affiliated clubs and organisations take to keep children, young people and adults at risk safe. Archery clubs and organisations should be safe and welcoming places for all.
We are committed to keeping everyone who engages with our sport safe from harm, and we proactively address this commitment with our policies, procedures and safe recruitment.
Merdon Bowmen follow the ArcheryGB policies, processes and incident reporting for Safeguarding:
