Link to CPGA Child Protection Procedures
Every person who takes part in the sport of Gig Rowing has the right to do so in a safe and enjoyable way, free from judgement and abuse. To ensure that this happens, the CPGA have produced a guide to aid clubs in their pursuit of Good Practice and to protect Young People in their pursuit of the sport.
The abuse of young people, children and the vulnerable can occur in any environment e.g. home, school and sports clubs. People the child knows and trusts commit the majority of child abuse. Children also disclose abuse to people they know and trust. This could be a member of your club; therefore, it is imperative that all affiliated clubs to the CPGA have good knowledge and understanding of the Policy and Procedures in order to protect all young people, coaches and club members. We all have a duty to safeguard these people and to report any concerns to the relevant person and the appropriate authorities
