Safety & Welfare
Safe, welcoming, and well-run club activity
Safety and welfare sit behind every KCC session, trip, event, and club decision. This page helps members, families, volunteers, and visitors find the right route for safeguarding, incident reporting, risk assessments, guidance, and policies.
Find the right route

Important
If someone is at immediate risk
If someone is at immediate risk or emergency help is needed, contact the emergency services first. Website forms and general website routes are not monitored as emergency channels.
For safeguarding or welfare concerns that are not immediate emergencies, use the club’s safeguarding reporting route. Avoid sending sensitive personal information through general enquiries or public comments.
For activity safety questions, use the information provided for the specific session, trip, or event, and follow the organiser or leader’s instructions.
FAQs
Safety and welfare questions
Is safety the same as safeguarding?
No. Safety usually covers activity risk, environments, equipment, conditions, and emergency planning. Safeguarding and welfare cover people, concerns, behaviour, protection, and reporting routes.
Where do risk assessments sit?
Risk assessments sit under Safety because they relate to activity planning, venues, hazards, and control measures.
Where are the policies?
Use the Policies page for the full public policy index, or the Safeguarding Policies page for the safeguarding policy set.
Can every member join every activity?
No. Participation depends on suitability, conditions, equipment, volunteer capacity, and organiser or leader judgement.
