What to Do if You Are Concerned About a Child or About the
Behaviour of a Member of Staff 如果你担⼼某个孩⼦或员⼯的⾏为,应采取哪些措施
A complaint, concern, or allegation may come from a number of sources: a child, their parents, or someone within your organisation. It may involve the behaviour of a volunteer or employee, or something that has happened to the child outside the sport, perhaps at home or at school.
An allegation may range from mild verbal bullying to physical or sexual abuse. If you are concerned that a child may be being abused, it is NOT your responsibility to investigate further BUT it is your responsibility to act on your concerns and report them to the appropriate statutory authorities.
If you’re not sure what to do and need advice, you can call the RYA Safeguarding Manager on 023 8060 4104 or the NSPCC’s free 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000.
