Safeguarding

---

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. 

 We are committed to safeguarding all those who participate in our sport, ensuring they can do so in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment.  We aim to enable all of our clubs and county associations to provide safe environments for all participants. 

Windsor & Eton Bowling Club's Safeguarding officer is Sharon Shaw - sharon.webc@gmail.com

All safeguarding concerns must be reported to WEBC's Safeguarding Team for advice. These include historic allegations and concerns relating to the current welfare/safeguarding of either adults or children in bowls, whether the issue is inside or outside of the sport.

Our Safeguarding Officer will then advise if the concern should be dealt with through our disciplinary procedures or whether it will be dealt with under our safeguarding procedures when we work in collaboration with the Case Management Group to provide collective advice, recommendations and decision making. 

 When reporting a concern you should record:

• The names and details of people involved
• Any additional relevant information known about the people involved
• Details of the concern and who raised it
• Views and wishes of the affected party
• Any information known about potential risk to others
• Details of anyone else consulted or discussed with
• Details of any actions already taken
