Child & Vulnerable Adult Protection Policy

 Introduction

The Clay Pigeon Shooting Association believes that child & vulnerable adult protection is everyone's responsibility.

Abuse can occur anywhere there are children & vulnerable adults at any time, at school, in the park, at the club.  Sadly, there are some people who will seek to be where children are simply in order to abuse them.

We believe that everyone in the CPSA has a part to play in looking after theose with whom we are working.  This is both a moral and a legal obligation. 

These protection procedures stem from the following principles:   

  • the child or vulnerable adult's welfare is the first consideration.
  • regardless of age, any disability they may have, gender, racial origin, religious belief and sexual identity have a right to be protected from abuse.

We know that if these procedures are to help to protect children & vulnerable adults, everyone involved in shooting needs to see and discuss them.  We are, therefore, asking coaches and officials to make sure that they are widely distributed and discussed at club, county, regional and national level.

If there is any doubt about these procedures and what constitutes good practice in this area please contact the CPSA.
