British Rowing Safeguarding and Protecting Vulnerable Adults Policy

10. Implementation andmonitoring proceduresBritish Rowing has established a Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection Group (CPG) to oversee the implementation of these procedures andto monitor their application in practice.It is the CPG’s responsibility to check that:• British Rowing’s procedures continue to reflect the current recommendations of external agencies that specialise in Child andVulnerable Adult protection• the procedures are disseminated and applied by British Rowing members and staff.The CPG has designed a checklist for clubs and other organisations to monitor their own compliance with the requirements set out in thisbooklet (Club Audit WG 3.6). From time to time, checks will be conducted to verify the results of this self-monitoring procedure. Clubs whohave junior members, children or vulnerable adults regularly visiting must ensure that the name and contact details for their CWO, or in thecase of an educational establishment, the person with responsibility for welfare, are completed in their British Rowing Annual Return. Thisinformation must be updated, as necessary, during the year by the Club Secretary or other senior club officer.The CPG will make an annual report to British Rowing’s Executive Committee, through the CPO, on the progress of its activities inimplementing and monitoring these procedures, and on the incidence and outcome of cases that have arisen in the year. The CPG may fromtime to time call upon external expert advice in auditing its procedures and improving its policies.British Rowing Safeguarding and Protecting Vulnerable Adults Policy - October 2010Pg 25
