Safeguarding

Good safeguarding at our club is about creating a safe, equal and happy environment that enables our young people to thrive.

Our club Safeguarding Officers are Stuart Davison and Karin Fawcett. Whilst it is the responsibility of everyone in the club to keep children safe, it is their role to oversee safeguarding within the club.
 
If you ever have any questions or concerns at all, then please do not hesitate to speak to either Stuart or Karin in person or contact them by phone (Stuart - 07771 666007/Karin - 07487 435244) or by email on safeguarding@croydesls.org
