Sport England
Sport England tells us that achieving the Safeguarding Code 'Mark' in Martial Arts helps clubs to demonstrate that they have reached and maintained good Safeguarding standards. It also allows parents and family members to make informed decisions when selecting a Martial Arts club for their child.
The Martial Arts Code was developed through close consultation between Sport England and representatives from various Martial Arts Governing Bodies, as well as those with years of expertise in developing good Safeguarding practices.
