OUR RESPONSIBILITY
We all have a role and responsibility to promote, support and safeguard children’s wellbeing in Scottish Golf. Ensuring a child’s wellbeing at all times, includes celebrating when things have gone well, understanding a child’s circumstances and forming positive relationships.
Golf can contribute in many different ways to a child’s positive wellbeing, these include the health benefits of being active, the achievements they make in gaining new skills and their experiences of being included and respected by their peers.
To ensure we can respond to situations when a child needs help or support, we must firstly understand their rights and the meaning of wellbeing. Secondly, we must recognise a number of risks that exist for children in golf and therefore put in place a range of safeguards that minimise these risks (see below). These are managed and promoted by people within particular roles who receive specific training for their level of responsibility. It is necessary for this understanding and the appropriate processes to be in place if ever a child’s wellbeing or need for protection is identified as a concern.
These policies, procedures and safeguards, will give the confidence and support needed to fulfil our role and responsibility to keep children safe in golf.
