Mullion SLSC operate within the strict guidelines of the SLSGB policy and training standard. SLSGB state that all sessions must by led by a lifeguard and at least one Level 2 coach. Also that all coaches have undertaken safeguarding training, are DBS checked and have read and signed the safeguarding training policy.

​Safeguarding has a number of elements to it such as:

• how we, as coaches behave with the children

• the reporting process that must be followed should any child welfare concerns come to light

• keeping a child safe from harm during a session

• protecting them in transit (to and from a session)

• ensuring they go home with an approved adult

• that coaches are DBS checked

• protecting vulnerable children and adults

• offering equal opportunities

• preventing compromising situations

• child to adult ratio

Every coach and lifeguard needs to read the Safeguarding policy from SLSGB below - and update your record in JustGo (the membership system)​
