Always dial 999 or contact the relevant local authority's children's social care / adult safeguarding team without delay. Our club lead can then be informed.

Our commitment

Our safeguarding approach

We believe everyone has a right to be safe and to enjoy sport. Safeguarding is at the heart of how Lewes Taekwondo operates — from how we recruit and vet our instructors to how classes are structured and how concerns are handled. This applies equally to children, young people, and adults at risk.
