Safeguarding
St Ives Swimming Club and Swim England take Safeguarding issues very seriously and any issue of bullying, abuse or suspicion of any irregularity should be reported to the
Welfare Officers as soon as possible. These issues are dealt with according to WavePower and action must be taken. The use of photographic or video recording equipment at all
events including training sessions is restricted and the guidelines posted on the website, in your swim manager account and the notice board must be adhered to.
The club follows Swim England's WavePower guidance (https://www.swimming.org/swimengland/tag/club-welfare/). The aim of Wavepower is to safeguard all children in line with
current legislation, regulations and guidance and is for use within any Swim England-affiliated organisation where children are present.
If you have concerns about a child's welfare or safety, please contact our dedicated Welfare Officers, Hannah Duarte and Roger Jenner siscwelfare@gmail.com
