SAFEGUARDING POLICY
At Reflect CKD, the safety and wellbeing of every child and young person in our care is a priority.
We want children and young people to enjoy martial arts in an environment where they feel safe, supported, respected and able to be themselves.
Our Commitment
Reflect CKD is committed to:
- putting the welfare and best interests of children first;
- providing a safe, positive and inclusive environment;
- listening to children and taking their concerns seriously;
- ensuring instructors understand their safeguarding responsibilities;
- using appropriate safer recruitment and DBS checking procedures;
- maintaining appropriate professional boundaries between instructors and students;
- responding promptly and appropriately to safeguarding concerns;
- maintaining confidential and accurate safeguarding records;
- providing appropriate safeguarding training for our team; and
- regularly reviewing our safeguarding policies and procedures.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
We recognise that safeguarding is not limited to concerns that arise during a martial arts class. If we become concerned about the welfare or safety of a child outside Reflect CKD, we will take the concern seriously and act in accordance with our safeguarding procedures.

If you are a student, parent, carer or other member of the Reflect CKD community and you are worried about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please speak to us.
