Safeguarding & Club Policies

Here at Garon Park we take junior wellbeing very seriously and parents and juniors can be assured that we adhere to every recognised child safety practice. All of our PGA instructors are DBS checked as are our Junior Organisers. We also have a Junior Welfare Officer on the premises Monday to Friday.

Part of our dedication to this is to be part of SafeGolf. This is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those who are participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf.

SafeGolf consists of members from the golfing bodies across Great Britain & Ireland and has been established to help golf respond to the issue of child protection in sport. Its mission is to safeguard the welfare of children and young people as well as adults at risk, in the sport of golf. This will be achieved through a unique partnership which has the ability to influence and act as advocate for safeguarding across the golfing landscape, developing a consistent approach towards ensuring that all people have a fun, safe and positive experience when playing golf.

Members of SafeGolf include; England Golf, Wales Golf, Scottish Golf, Confederation of Golf in Ireland,The Professional Golfers’ Association, Ladies European Tour, The Golf Foundation, Golf Club Managers’ Association, the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association and The R&A.
