Safeguarding and Protecting Children in Coarse Angling
Over the past two months the Federation has been busy reviewing all of it’s plans, policies and procedures in order to adopt children1st’s newly published ’10 Steps to Safeguarding in Sport’, and I am pleased to announce that this work is now complete.
The process has involved writing six new policy documents and reviewing several others as well as updating the various web pages. All of the new policies and procedures are now available on line in the Child Protection section of the website.
While our old policies and procedures already met all of the requirements and remained fit for purpose, having everything contained in one large document made it difficult for people to navigate and find the information that they were looking for. It is hoped that the new layout will overcome this problem and ensure that everyone who requires information can find it easily.
The SFCA would welcome your feedback on whether this section of the website meets your requirements and on any areas for improvement. We would also appreciate your assistance in publicising the changes to everyone involved in coarse angling in Scotland, and particularly junior anglers , parents, and individuals and groups involved in organising angling activities for them.
Tight Lines,
Gus Brindle, Chairman
