SAFEGOLF

Cornwall Golf Union is SafeGolf Accredited

England Golf, as our National Governing Body, wants everyone to have a safe, fun experience in golf. That’s why they have launched the SafeGolf accreditation for affiliated clubs and facilities, a process designed to enable clubs, through easily accessible documents and templates, to ensure they are delivering a safe environment for the sport to be played in.

The SafeGolf accreditation process will become a mandatory part of the England Golf affiliation process for clubs after March 2021.

It’s also important to note that county bodies must also achieve SafeGolf accreditation and we in the Cornwall Golf Union are working towards this accreditation.

The Cornwall Golf Union is committed to ensuring all players participate in the game in a safe environment.

Our Safeguarding Policies and Procedures are for the benefit of all participants, employees and volunteers of the County and are intended to promote the objectives and principles set out below. Due to fundamental differences in the safeguarding of children and adults, we have separate policies and both policies are available to view and download. (see below)

The CGU County Welfare Officer is Chris Pountney, (County Secretary).
