Child Protection
British Judo upholds the principle that all children whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/ or sexual identity have the right to protection from abuse. The members, staff and volunteers of the association are committed to the welfare and protection of children and young people so that they can enjoy sporting activities in safety without fear, threat or abuse.
Adult Protection
British Judo is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and positive environment and accepts the responsibility to safeguard the welfare of all adults involved in judo in accordance with the Care Act 2014.
Additionally Vulnerable
Additionally vulnerable judoka are those participants (adult and children) that do not always have access to the same choices due to a disability or impairment; a situation that results in an increased risk of experiencing harm or abuse.
Mental Health & Wellbeing
