Safeguarding and welfare

The club committee uses a framework set out in the Club safeguarding code of conduct.

The club and all our members are expected to abide by the UK Athletics and HCAF Children and Young People Code of Conduct.

All athletes and club members have the right to feel safe, comfortable, and supported when attending training sessions or other events organised by Abingdon Athletics Club.

If this is not how you or your child are being made to feel, or you have concerns about the treatment of any other athlete at the club, please contact our club’s welfare officer (contact details below).
