ASA CHILD PROTECTION IN SWIMMING
Procedures and Guidelines

These procedures and guidelines were produced by the ASA Child Protection Working Party in conjunction with the NSPCC.

The ASA believes that the welfare of children is everyone's responsibilty, particularly when it comes to protecting children from abuse. Everyone in swimming - administrator, club official, coach, parent, friend, children themselves, everyone - can help.

If these procedures are to help to protect children, everyone involved in swimming needs to see and discuss them. We are therefore asking club secretaries and welfare officers to make sure that they are widely distrubuted and discussed at club executive and general meetings.
