Safeguarding

RCA are committed to ensuring that all participants enjoy archery in a safe environment in which they are protected from any form of poor practice or abuse.

We fully adopt the Archery GB policies and procedures to fulfil our duty of care for all archers and to ensure children, young people and adults at risk are protected from physical, sexual, or emotional harm, and from neglect or bullying.

Our coaches are Archery GB qualified and DBS checked, which are renewed every three years.

The club actively encourages all members to respect and display appropriate behaviours, and where these are not followed, appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the club's Disciplinary & Grievance Procedures.
