MKJIHC Safeguarding

Milton Keynes Junior Ice Hockey Club is committed to the safeguarding and well‐being of all its members.

 

Safeguarding must not be seen in isolation and is an integral consideration of all aspects of running and managing our club. This includes leadership, planning, scheduling, coaching and managing.

All of our coaches, managers and off-ice officials hold a Disclosure & Barring System ‘DBS’ certificate.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Jo Merrick, has responsibility for all matters relating to safeguarding within the club.

​

The DSL is the first point of contact for anyone associated with or working with the club (club committee, team staff, parents or players) who have a concern about a child or adult involved with the club.

​

Some of the responsibilities:

​

• To ensure the club adheres to Safeguarding policies and procedures.

• To raise of awareness of safeguarding within the club.

• Is a source of advice and information for adult members.

• Will liaise with English Ice Hockey (EIH) Safeguarding team and other services such as the
  police and children’s services as appropriate.
