ENDSLEIGH FISHING CLUB SAFEGUARDING POLICY

At Endsleigh Fishing Club (EFC) we take the safeguarding of all our members and their guests very seriously.

We offer a variety of angling options for all skill levels. We work alongside John Dennis who is employed by EFC as a river keeper and fishing instructor. John has a DBS certificate and will sign a voluntary self-declaration and disclosure form every year. If anyone wishes to raise a safeguarding issue on any of the policies set out below, they should contact John Dennis or the club’s safeguarding officer who is currently Mrs Pippa Medd.

John Dennis will undertake routine training workshops with the Angling Trust when they are offered and be familiar with all documents relating to Safeguarding, Health and Safety and Risk assessments.

We have adopted the following safeguarding policies:
