A safe environment for every junior
The safety and wellbeing of every young person involved with PathwayGolf is extremely important. We are committed to promoting appropriate safeguarding standards throughout junior golf.
We encourage parents, schools, coaches and golf clubs to understand their safeguarding responsibilities and ensure children can learn and enjoy golf within a safe, positive and supportive environment.
Safeguarding information, policies and appropriate contact details should always be easily accessible through this section of the website.
Safe environment. Positive experience. Better junior golf.
'SafeGolf' for Golf
SafeGolf is a partnership of UK & Ireland golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working, and volunteering in golf. All PathwayGolf PGA coaches are SafeGolf accredited.
SafeGolf has been established to help golf respond to the issue of child protection in sport. Their mission is to safeguard the welfare of children and young people, as well as adults at risk, in the sport of golf. This is achieved through their unique partnerships which can influence and act as advocate for safeguarding across the golfing landscape; by developing a consistent approach to ensure that all people have a fun, safe and positive experience when playing golf.
If you have a concern about the welfare of any child, you can contact SafeGolf via: https://safegolf.org/contact/
All allegations, suspicions of harm or concerns will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly, fairly, and appropriately. SafeGolf works closely with the NSPCC and the statutory agencies to ensure that safeguarding children is prioritised. Anyone with concerns can also contact the ‘NSPCC’ Helpline for adults 0808 800 5000 and ‘Childline’ for children and young people 0800 1111.
