Child protection and wellbeing

At scottishathletics we believe that all children who take part in in our sport are entitled to do so in a fun and safe environment.

We work in partnership with sportscotland, Children 1st, Disclosure Scotland and Volunteer Scotland Disclosure Services (VSDS), to continuously improve knowledge and practice in child protection and wellbeing at all levels of our sport.

In this section you will find scottishathletics Child Protection Policy as well as the Codes of Conduct and Welfare Toolkit, which contains up-to-date guidelines for clubs and individuals. Clubs are encouraged to adopt the Child Protection Policy within their own procedures.

For further information on welfare, please contact the welfare team.

If you have an immediate and serious concern about the safety of a child, contact the police on either 101 or 999.
