The KUGB recognises that it has both moral and legal obligations to ensure that when it is given responsibility for children, it provides them with the highest possible standard of care.
These guidelines apply to all KUGB instructors, whether they act in a voluntary or professional capacity. They will also apply to any person who may have young Karate students in their charge, such as Referees and Judges or Examiners. This safeguarding legislation ties in with the Children Act 1989 and 2004, and the Children and Social Work Act 2017.
In addition, we are pleased to announce the formation of our new Safeguarding Team. This dedicated group of individuals will oversee the implementation of safeguarding policies, ensuring the safety and well-being of all our young members. The team is available to provide support, guidance, and a clear point of contact for any safeguarding concerns, further reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for everyone involved in our activities
