At ESKA Karate we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment in all club related activities for our instructors and students. We believe that our students and instructors should be given equal opportunities, free from bullying, abuse, or any other form of unacceptable behaviour.
We are excited to have successfully achieved the “Sport England Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts” which demonstrates our ongoing commitment to safer sport.
Our main safeguarding policy explains how ESKA works to protect children, young people, and adults at risk, and how concerns are recognised, reported, recorded, and acted upon.
This document explains the role of ESKA’s Designated Safeguarding Person and Deputy, including their responsibilities and how safeguarding concerns are escalated when needed.
This code sets out the standards of behaviour, professionalism, and safe practice expected from all instructors, staff, and volunteers involved with ESKA. It also explains the standards of behaviour, respect, and sportsmanship expected from all ESKA students and members.
