Safeguarding

Sharks Ski Club is a friendly Club! We are not just developing skiing skills; we are about teaching all our members to support and respect friends and the adults in the Club; but most of all our ethos is for our members to accept the challenge of skiing, like any sporting activity that challenges, giving encouragement to each other.

​

We create lessons for children to learn in an environment and manner that suits them and provide separate adult lessons that are geared to developing their skiing ability.

​

Our instructors, coaches and other volunteers dedicate their skills, experience, and time to encourage and develop all our skiers.

Statement of Care

Sharks Ski Club accepts that all children, young people and adults have the following basic rights:

​

  • to be valued as a person.

  • to be treated with dignity and respect.

  • to be cared for as a young person.

  • to be kept safe.

 

Sharks Ski Club will provide training in which all members feels safe and cared for, valued, and treated with dignity and respect.

​

Sharks Ski Club will provide a duty of care to protect each young person from abuse.
