• We do not tolerate any form of bullying from any of our members (gymnasts, coaches, officials) or from any parents.

• All staff over the age of 16 are DBS checked and trained to follow all safeguarding procedures.

• Any photos or videos taken of your child for training purposes will not be done so without prior consent. This of course also goes for any images/videos being posted to social media.

• All staff will have adequate training and/or received qualifications before carrying out any coaching duties.

• A qualified first aider will always be present on site.

• The ratio of coach to gymnast will be in accordance to the rules set out by British Gymnastics.
