Young Persons Protection Policy

The Club: It is the policy of Stratford on Avon Gliding Club to safeguard the welfare of all young and vulnerable people while they are involved in its activities by protecting them from emotional, physical, and sexual harm.

The Committee: It is the responsibility of the Committee to provide and encourage a completely open environment in which inappropriate behaviour cannot be concealed, to provide guidelines to members which make clear what constitutes inappropriate behaviour, and to monitor the operation of the Club and its members.

The Members: It is the responsibility of all adult members of the Club to ensure that their behaviour, and that of others, is appropriate at all times.

The Parents of Visitors: It is the responsibility of the parents of young visitors to look after their children at all times, including during the preparation for the flight, and to help Club members wherever appropriate.

The Parents of Members: It is the responsibility of the parents of young members to assure themselves that this policy is implemented and that their children are being treated properly. Any reasonable assistance will be given for them to achieve this.
