KUK SOOL WON OF TAMWORTH HAVE ACHIEVED THE SAFEGUARDING CODE IN MARTIAL ARTS
What does this mean for parents/guardians?
The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created to give parents and carers peace of mind when searching for martial arts clubs suitable for children or adults in their care.
Funded by the National Lottery, this scheme was launched by the Sports Minister in early 2018 and is delivered through a group of partners and experts in safeguarding such as the Child Protection in Sport Unit (NSPCC) and Sport England.
As such, any martial arts club/organisation or individual in England who has achieved the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts, has successfully demonstrated to us that they have a good working knowledge of quality safeguarding practices will be able to reassure you that they have the following in place:
* This should be available to all staff, volunteers, parents and participants.
** We can only validate coaches qualifications where the coach holds a qualification issued by a national governing body that is recognised by Sport England.
If you’re a parent or carer of a participant who attends a martial arts organisation without the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts “mark”, please encourage them to work towards meeting the required standards of the Safeguarding Code.
When successful, an organisation will be able to display the above mark
