The role of the Club Safeguarding Officer is crucial in ensuring that the Motorsport UK Safeguarding Policies and Procedures are embedded throughout the sport and work in practice. They act as the first point of contact for anyone in the club or who attend an event (staff, volunteer, parents, children, spectators, competitors and their support teams) who has a concern about a child and about poor practice/possible abuse by adults working with children. The Safeguarding Officer therefore needs to be perceived as being approachable and as having a child/adult at risk-focused approach.
