What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding is the preventative measures that Archery GB and affiliated clubs such as Jolly Archers take to keep children, young people and adults at risk safe. Archery clubs and organisations should be safe and welcoming places for all. We are committed to keeping everyone who engages with our sport safe from harm, and we proactively address this commitment with our policies, procedures and safe recruitment.
Role of the Club Safeguarding Officer
The role of Safeguarding Officer within Jolly Archers is to manage and report concerns about children and adults and to put into place procedures to safeguard children, young people and adults in their area of responsibility.

How to Report Safeguarding Concerns
If you are worried about a young person or adult at risk or receive information which you believe puts them at risk, it is vital you report your concerns. Doing nothing is not an option.
