What to do if you are worried about what is happening to a child outside of the Club (but the

concern is identified through the child's involvement in golf)

Concern identified about a child

If the child requires urgent medical attention call an ambulance and

inform the hospital doctor that you have a child protection concern

Report your concern to the Club Welfare Officer* who will if

necessary refer the matter to Children's Social Care/Police without

delay. Make a record of everything that the child has said and /or

what has been observed with dates and times, using the Incident

Report Form.

If the Club Welfare Officer is not available contact the England Golf

Lead Safeguarding Officer, tel: 01526 351824

Complete a report form and copy it to Children's Social Care/Police

and to the England Golf Governance Department within 24 hours.
