Safeguarding

At Scottish Fencing we want members and volunteers of all ages to be safe and have fun while taking part in fencing. Everyone involved in the Scottish fencing community has a duty to safeguard the welfare of all children and adults in their care. 

Scottish Fencing has made a commitment to promote safe practice and to protect children and adults from harm, abuse and exploitation. This duty extends to the prevention of physical, sexual or emotional abuse of any child or adult and Scottish Fencing shall apply this regardless of gender, race, religion, sexuality or disability. 

Our Lead Officer responsible for Wellbeing and Protection is Val Wright.
