Creating Safe Spaces for
Every Child
At Altus Sport, safeguarding is not just a policy — it’s a commitment woven into everything we do.
Our Approach to Safeguarding
Every coach is vetted and trained. Every programme is monitored. Every child matters.
We believe that young people can only thrive when they feel safe, respected, and supported. That’s why safeguarding is embedded into our daily practices, from the field to the classroom.
We take a proactive and structured approach to ensure the well-being of every participant:
- Coach Training & Development
All coaches undergo safeguarding training, equipping them to recognise, prevent, and respond to risks appropriately. - Safe Programme Delivery
Sessions are designed to create inclusive, respectful, and supportive environments for all learners. - Regular Monitoring & Auditing
Our programmes are continuously reviewed to ensure safeguarding standards are consistently met and improved. - Clear Reporting Structures
We provide safe and accessible ways for concerns to be raised and addressed quickly and responsibly.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
Building a Culture of Safety
Safeguarding at Altus Sport goes beyond compliance — it’s about building a culture where:
- Every child feels valued and heard
- Respect and inclusion are actively practiced
- Boundaries are understood and upheld
- Positive behaviour is modelled by every coach
We empower young people with the confidence to speak up and the knowledge to make safe, informed decisions.
Inclusion & Protection for All
We are committed to creating environments that are:
- Inclusive — promoting gender equality and accessibility for all abilities
- Respectful — fostering dignity, fairness, and mutual respect
- Protective — ensuring all participants are safeguarded from harm
Our Commitment
Safeguarding is not a checklist — it’s a responsibility we carry every day.
Through strong systems, trained leaders, and a culture of care, we ensure that every child in our programmes has the opportunity to grow in a safe and supportive environment.
