We are affiliated with England Ahtletics and follow and agree to the policies as specified on their website. This is to ensure that runners have a fun, enjoyable and safe envorinment; and so we apply best practises of welfare and safeguarding to all of our runners.

​

We are an inclusive, supportive, friendly club and we challenge bullying, harrasment or otherwise bad behaviour; whilst treating members and volunteers fairly and with the utmost respect.

​

The Committee has overall responsibility for the club's direction and day-to-day business with delegated responsibility for certain roles e.g. Safeguarding and Welfare. The Lead Welfare Officer has received suitable safeguarding training and run leaders are also trained appropriately.

​

If anyone has any concerns, or witnessed any concerning behaviour or conversations whilst on a cluib organised event -

• please keep a factual record

• do not speak unneccessarily with others (so as not to cause embarasement or reputational damage)

• contact to the Lead Welfare Officer or if that is not possible a member of committee.

• If a matter is of urgent and immediate concern then it may be approriate to contact a relevant authority e.g. police, ambulance, social services etc.
