SAFEGUARDING
We are proud to have been awarded the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts, demonstrating our commitment to upholding our duty-of-care to the community and young people. It recognises Honiton Tae Kwon Do as a martial arts provider that has reached and effectively maintained good safeguarding standards. The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created so that parents and carers can clearly identify a martial arts provider that have demonstrated that they have reached and maintained good safeguarding standards and can make informed decisions when selecting a club for their child.
Honiton Tae Kwon Do is committed to good practice in which we protect children and vulnerable adults from harm. Our instructors and assistants accept and recognise their responsibility to provide an environment which promotes a safe and secure environment for all participants at all times.
We firmly believe that martial arts training presents a positive opportunity for all to learn martial arts and self-defence, improve their self-confidence and develop as an individual. Everyone who participates is entitled to do so in a safe, fair and professional environment.
Should we need to escalate a case, we will contact our national governing body (the British Tae Kwon-Do Council). Their Safeguarding / Welfare Officers information can be found at www.tkdcouncil.com/safeguarding
