Safeguarding is about creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone involved, from young players to adult bowlers. It’s about taking steps to prevent and address any kind of harm or abuse. This includes supporting coaches and volunteers to spot potential problems, making sure Bowls England routes to reporting are clearly understood, and encouraging a culture of respect and fairness throughout the bowling community.
The Bowls Development Alliance, in conjunction with the National Governing Bodies of Bowls, have set these standards that apply to everyone involved with the sport including, staff, club officials, coaches, volunteers, players and spectators. This Code of Conduct has been produced to protect everyone in the sport and to ensure that everyone can enjoy the sport of bowls in a safe and inclusive environment. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
