Safeguarding and Welfare of Children

Maidenhead Rowing Club fully adopts and abides by British Rowing’s Safeguarding and Welfare policies in respect of children (anyone under 18) and adults at risk.

Linked to Safeguarding is British Rowing’s Code of Conduct.  This Code of Conduct applies to anyone participating in rowing activity, or working in an affiliated club or organisation, or volunteering with our club.  Every member agrees to abide by British Rowing’s Code of Conduct when they join Maidenhead Rowing Club.  This Code also applies to parents of junior members.  Please take a moment to read what you have agreed to!

Please find below an abridged version of the club’s Safeguarding Policy for its junior members:

Safeguarding and Use of Social Media

Where a participant in rowing is under 18, we ask that their parent(s)/carer(s) spend a few minutes to read through and discuss this statement with their child and ensure they understand their responsibilities. The following reflects British Rowing’s Online Safety and Social Media Policy.

As a participant in rowing:

• I will be responsible for my behaviour when using the internet and social media or any digital content in relation to British Rowing, or Maidenhead Rowing Club, including the content I access and how I conduct myself.
• I will not deliberately create, browse or access material that could be considered offensive or illegal. If I accidentally come across any such material, I will report this to my Club Welfare Officer.
• I will not use social media or the internet to send anyone material that could be considered threatening, offensive, upsetting, bullying or that is illegal.
• I understand that all my use of internet and social media is potentially visible to everyone and that any issues involving my behaviour online may be addressed by my Coach, another official at Maidenhead Rowing Club, or by British Rowing.
• I will not give out any of my personal information (such as name, age, address, or telephone number online), or that of anyone else.
• I will not share my passwords or PINs with anyone else.
• I am aware that if I am experiencing bullying behaviour or abuse online, I can contact my Coach or the Club Welfare Officer.

In addition, if I am under 18:

• I understand that I should only use my club’s or British Rowing’s official social media or website communication channels to contact them and should not seek out individual members of staff or coaches. However I know that my club has a Club Welfare Officer who I can contact via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or I can contact British Rowing’s Lead Safeguarding Officer by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
• I will not arrange to meet someone that I have met online unless accompanied by a parent/carer.
• I understand that these rules are designed to keep me safe, and if they are not followed my parents may be contacted.
• I will avoid using my mobile or smartphone during activities at my rowing club as I understand that it will have an impact on my safety and my opportunity to learn and achieve.
• I know I can contact Childline on 0800 11 11 if I have any worries about something I’ve seen or experienced online.

Anyone who feels unsafe, unwelcome or harassed or who has any questions or concerns should contact the Club Welfare Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or British Rowing’s Lead Safeguarding Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
