Safeguarding
The Junior section has a dedicated organiser, who liaises very closely with the club professional and the Club’s Welfare Officer. All adults who work with juniors have been checked by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) through England Golf. Safeguarding is a priority for the club, to ensure everyone can learn and play in a safe, positive and purposeful environment. Any concerns a parent may have over the safeguarding of their child should be addressed to the club’s welfare officer (John Stevens)
