Child safeguarding policy and procedures for clubs: Wavepower 2024

To help clubs with child welfare, Swim England publish guidance under Wavepower. This is the child safeguarding policies and procedures publication.

Wavepower is adopted by all Swim England affiliated clubs and organisations. The latest version of the Wavepower document can be downloaded from the Swim England website and is linked below.

The aim of Wavepower is to safeguard all children in line with current legislation, regulations and guidance and is for use within any Swim England affiliated organisation where children are present.

Wavepower consistently emphasises that the responsibility for child safeguarding in our sport belongs with all those involved in our sports and is not the sole responsibility of any one person at local, county or national level.
