We are committed to do this by acknowledging that:

* Each individual irrespective of age, gender, religion, race or disability has the right to protection from abuse.
* Each individual has a right to be safe, and to be treated with respect and dignity.
* Bullying in any form has no place within the sport of bowls.

We shall use our best endeavours to ensure that:

* All allegations of bullying or abuse are taken seriously.
* The response to any allegation is swift and appropriate.
* Our policy statement is reviewed annually and updated if appropriate.
* A responsible person is appointed as Club Safeguarding Officer whose contact details are clearly displayed and is the first point of contact for any concerns that members may have.
