When We Disagree
As a Club, we recognise it is normal to not agree on everything. To help us hear each other and build the best environment for the children when disagreements occur we:
- Wait 48 hours for the dust to settle before raising concerns.
- Email [email protected] stating the concern and requesting a meeting to explain in more detail. The relevant coach/club official will agree a time for the meeting and may invite another coach/club official to attend.
- If you are unhappy about the outcome, email [email protected]
If your concern is around child safety then please see below:
Safeguarding
Penrith Swimming Club and Swim England are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in the sport. All children are entitled to feel safe and protected from any form of abuse and neglect, and have the right to take part in sport in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment.
If you have a concern about a child please report to the Clubs Welfare Officer: [email protected]
