Bowls England works in partnership with the Bowls Development Alliance, English Indoor Bowling Association Ltd, English Short Mat Bowling Association, English Bowling Federation and the British Crown Green Bowling Association to enable clubs and county associations to provide a safe environment for all participants.
Safeguarding is not just aimed at those clubs with junior members – it is there for clubs that work closely with adults at risk.
Guidance produced by the Safeguarding Bowls Panel includes templates and information on safeguarding good practice, together with details on the process to be followed if a situation arises advice on the support that is available.
For details go to: www.safeguardingbowls.org
