Swimline: Protecting Children
The ASA with the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) operates Swimline.
Swimline was launched over 10 years ago and is a confidential freephone number provided for anyone involved in aquatics, adults or children, who believe that the welfare of someone under the age of 18 is at risk. This concern could be neglect, abuse, bullying or fear of someone or anything that is worrying you and you don’t know who to discuss it with.
See our Safeguarding policy and contact our Welfare Officer here.
