Safeguarding

AoC Sport is committed to providing safe and high quality activities for all college students and we work in partnership with colleges to ensure robust safeguarding procedures are always put in place and implemented.

Our Safeguarding Policy for young people and adults can be found here along with incident reporting forms.

If you have any queries please contact our Safeguarding Lead Matt.Rhodes@aoc.co.uk or Deputy Safeguarding Lead Dan.Greenwood@aoc.co.uk

Safeguarding Reporting

In a medical emergency or if you believe a young person or adult has been harmed or is at risk of harm you should contact the emergency services immediately on 999.

Safeguarding Reporting Form: This form is specifically for reporting issues related to the safety and welfare of individuals, such as suspected abuse or neglect. Use this form if you believe someone is at risk of harm or if there are concerns about a person’s wellbeing that require immediate attention from our safeguarding team.

Safeguarding Form

Incident Reporting Form: This form should be used for reporting non-safeguarding related incidents that occur during any sports event or activity. This includes reports of poor behaviour, accidents, serious injuries, or any other significant occurrences that do not involve safeguarding concerns but require documentation and follow-up.

Incident Form

Safeguarding Complaints

Complaints about the way in which a safeguarding concern has been managed, must in the first instance be directed to the AoC Sport’s Lead Safeguarding Officer. Safeguarding concerns and complaints reported to us will be taken seriously and responded to promptly and appropriately.

Please ensure that the appropriate form is used to help us address and manage each situation effectively and efficiently. If in doubt, please contact our support team for guidance.
