Safeguarding
Keeping everyone safe is our priority.
We're committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for children, young people and adults — where everyone can train with confidence.
Our commitment
Safeguarding is not "one policy" — it's how we run the academy day to day.
Independent oversight
Designated Safeguarding Officer
To follow proper safeguarding guidelines and to make sure you feel safe and happy with what we do at the academy, we have our own Designated Safeguarding Officer who is completely separate from the academy. This means there is always an independent person you can contact if any problems arise — someone who holds us accountable.
Marshall Willock
Marshall is completely independent from the academy. His role is to ensure proper safeguarding guidelines are followed, that members feel safe, and that the academy is held accountable.
What we do
Practical safeguarding in every session.
Classes are supervised, age-appropriate and taught with clear boundaries and expectations.
We promote respect, discipline and positive conduct in line with our academy values.
Our instructors are trained and experienced in working with children and families, with first aid on site.
Incidents are rare and usually minor (e.g. stubbed toes, nose bleeds). If something happens, we respond quickly using our first aid protocols.
