Legal & Welfare

SAADI is Child Centred and fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all its members. The club believes it is important that coaches, administrators, club members and parents associated with the club should, at all times, show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others. Therefore, members are encouraged to be open at all times and share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspects of the club with Rosemary Dolling, our welfare officer.

Complaints and Grievances Procedure

STATEMENT: As a club affiliated to British Gymnastics (BG), the club is bound by the BG Procedures for Complaints, Disciplinary Issues and Membership Suspensions & Expulsions.

SAADI places the Welfare & Safety of its members as the highest priority.

The club has a designated Health, Safety & Welfare Officer (Mrs Rosemary Dolling) to whom all complaints, grievances and suspicions of poor practice should be addressed. Matters will be dealt with confidentially and only those who need to know will be informed. A new deputy Welfare Officer is currently being trained.

The British Gymnastics procedure for dealing with complaints will be followed and if an issue cannot be suitably addressed at a Club Level, the British Gymnastics procedures will be implemented.

A copy of the British Gymnastics Procedure & Policy for Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults is available here or copies can be obtained from British Gymnastics.
