Safeguarding – Kingfishers SC

Safeguarding – Awareness

Safeguarding is an integral part of any club and here at Kingfishers we take that role very seriously.
Safeguarding is EVERYONES responsibility from coaches to parents.
In the link below you will find a short training module which will give you a better understanding of safeguarding and what to do should you have any concerns.
We would like as many parents as possible to take part in the training.
If you require any further information about the training either before or after then please contact the club welfare officer Adrian.

Meet the club welfare officer

Meet the club welfare officer…..

My name is Adrian and I am the Welfare Officer for Kingfishers Swimming Club. I have been involved in this role for just over 3 years. Previous to that I was just a happy grandparent sat on the balcony cooking alive watching my grandson swim.

I was originally born in Nottingham but landed in Scarborough around 1993 having moved down from Edinburgh. I have lived in a variety of areas including Cumbria, West Yorkshire and Wiltshire.

I have one son who has recently moved to live in New Zealand and 4 grandchildren 2 that currently swim for Kingfishers and one that is desperate to join when he is old enough. My 4th grandchild lives in Bangkok so a long way to come for a Wednesday night session.
