Child Protection Policy

Changes to the BADMINTON England Child Protection Policy endorsed by Council on 26th May 2005 require that the following paragraphs are included, under a child protection heading, into BADMINTON England's Articles of Association. It is intended that future annual club membership acknowledges adherence to the BADMINTON England Policy.

1 All individuals at all levels involved in Badminton through BADMINTON

England, must abide by BADMINTON England's Child Protection Policy and the Code of Ethics and Conduct ("the Code") and all individuals, by participating or being involved in Badminton through BADMINTON England are deemed to have assented to and thereby adhere to the principles and responsibilities embodied in these documents.

2 Each and every constituent member of BADMINTON England including, without

limitation, all clubs and leagues shall be responsible for the implementation of the Child Protection Policy and Procedures in Badminton in relation to their individual members.

3 Any act, statement or other behaviour that harms a child or group of

children or poses a risk of harm to a child or group of children shall constitute conduct that is improper and thereby brings Badminton into disrepute. Such conduct will be dealt with, at the appropriate level, through the Disciplinary Procedure.
