Everyone should be able to enjoy golf in a safe environment. We all have a responsibility to protect and safeguard children and adults at risk.

If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child in golf, or outside the sport, or concerns about the behaviour or anyone else involved in the sport, talk to our Club Welfare Officer.

Concerns might include:

Bullying of children by their peers or by adults
Individuals exploiting their position to gain access to children
Placing unrealistic performance expectations on children
Lacking awareness of the needs for safeguarding
Poor planning
