Safeguarding at Merton Park Bowling Clubs

 

 

No one in sport and physical activity; whether they are a volunteer, participant, spectator or elite athlete, should ever have to worry about abuse or harassment.

 

Along with Bowls England we are committed to safeguarding all those who participate in our sport, ensuring they can do so in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment.

In order to meet this commitment our clubs have adopted the Safeguarding Policies and Guidelines as approved by Bowls England.

Guidance on what to do if a bowler asks for help and contact details for our clubs’ Safeguarding Officer are on display in the clubhouse along with hard copies of the Important Information and Documents listed below.
