Safeguarding at Atlas

Our commitment to the safety and welfare of every child and adult who trains with us.

Our Commitment

Safe, Welcoming & Listened To


Atlas Martial Arts is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We expect all instructors, members and volunteers to share in this commitment.

We make every effort to provide a safe, welcoming environment underpinned by a culture of openness, where both children and adults feel secure, able to talk and believe that they are being listened to.

Atlas Martial Arts has a comprehensive safeguarding policy, giving our instructors and volunteers the framework they need to keep children safe and secure in our gym, and informing parents and guardians how we will safeguard their children whilst in our care.

If anyone has any concerns regarding the safeguarding and well-being of children at Atlas, these should be brought to the attention of any of our safeguarding leads below, face to face or by email.
