PBASC adheres to the principles of WAVEPOWER which is the Swim England Child Safeguarding Policy and Procedures manual.​

​

​The aim of WAVEPOWER 2024 is to safeguard children and young people in line with current legislation and guidance. 

The policy guides everyone in our sport to play their part in safeguarding children by offering practical guidance for those who are directly involved in working with children by providing awareness of both mandatory requirements and good practice guidance.

The responsibility to safeguard children in our club and related activities lies with all those involved in the sport and is not the sole responsibility of any one person at club, county or national level.
