Safeguarding

Bowls England are committed to safeguarding all those who participate in our sport, ensuring they can do so in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment.  Their aim is to enable all their clubs and county associations to provide safe environments for all participants.  Bowls England’s safeguarding function works in collaboration with The Bowls Development Alliance (BDA), The English Indoor Bowls Association (EIBA), English Short Mat Bowling Association (ESMBA), The British Crown Green Bowling Association (BCGBA), English Bowling Federation (EBF) and Disability Bowls England (DBE).

Safeguarding Policies

All categories of Bowls England membership, as a qualification of membership, must adopt the Safeguarding Policies and Guidelines (or any subsequent policy) as approved by Bowls England. This requirement must be included in all club and county constitutions.

Paragraph 29 of Billericay Bowling Club’s Constitution reads as follows:

The Club adopts the Bowls England Safeguarding Policy. The committee will appoint male and female safeguarding officers to actively ensure compliance with the policy.

Billericay Bowling Club acknowledges that safeguarding is everybody's responsibility and are committed to prevent abuse and neglect through safeguarding the welfare of all members involved in bowls and its club. Physical and mental health, well-being, ability, disability and need for care and support can affect a person's resilience. We recognise that some people experience barriers, for example, communication in raising concerns or seeking help. We recognise that all these factors can vary at different points in people's lives.

All club coaches have undertaken mandatory safeguarding training.
