Safeguarding
England Weight Lifting is committed to promoting the safety and welfare of children and adults at risk engaged in the sport at all levels.
We have developed a set of principles and aim to contribute to safeguarding children and adults at risk by:
- Applying the principles and practices in ‘Working Together 2020’
- Influencing and advocating at a strategic level
- Implementing and demonstrating best safeguarding practices, and passing on this knowledge to all those involved in our sport
- Working with partners to establish and implement safeguarding standards across the sport
- Ensuring that all individuals and organisations that are funded or commissioned to provide services for children and young are effectively addressing safeguarding
- Maximising our influence to promote safeguarding practice and principles within our wider partnership roles and relationships
