Keeping Sailing Safe: Creating Policies and Getting Criminal Records Checks Right

Monday 28th July - 7pm-8pm

Online


 
Join us for an insightful panel discussion designed to help you create safe and welcoming environments at your sailing club — not just for your participants, but for your volunteers, staff, and visitors too.

Together with our panel of guests, we’ll explore why having a clear, well-understood safeguarding policy is important, how to build one that’s practical and relevant to your club, and how to move beyond basic compliance to truly embed safeguarding into your club’s culture. 

We will also unravel the sometimes-confusing world of criminal records disclosure checks, explaining why they’re a crucial part of safe recruitment, understanding who needs to be checked, when, how, and why, and how to manage the process smoothly through an umbrella body. 

Whether you're setting up safeguarding processes for the first time or reviewing what you already have in place, this session will leave you with clear, actionable advice and signposting to all the support available to you to help you on this journey. 

Together, we can ensure that the water is the safest place to be.
