REPORT A CONCERN

If you have a safeguarding concern you MUST report it.

​

In British Fencing we believe that the welfare of children and adults at risk is everyone’s responsibility, particularly when it comes to protecting them from abuse. Everyone in fencing – administrator, club official, coach, parent, friend, children themselves, everyone – can help.
