At Gateshead and Whickham ASC, we are committed to ensure a safe environment for children and young people. We work alongside the safeguarding teams at Swim North East and Swim England to ensure we are up to date with legislation and current best practice, as well as the new challenges facing children and young people in today’s society.
Wavepower 2020 – 23 is the new Swim England Child Safeguarding Policies and Procedures manual which must be adopted by all Swim England affiliated clubs such as ourselves. Advice and guidance can be found in this manual for coaches, parents and swimmers.
