About us

WKU Child Protection

All club instructors within the WKU are encouraged to attend regional Child Protection Courses, many of these are set up by local authorities, though there are also some very good courses run by sporting bodies.

At our last course we were introduced to a new system that is hoped to be up and running later this year. The Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) their web site is available at www.isa-gov.org.uk, they will be working in conjunction with the CRB system already in place. All instructors within the WKU must be CRB checked, this is in our constitution.

Every club in the WKU should have it’s own CPO, it is also advisable to have a male and female representative who are not related. The CPO does not have to be a training student but should be someone who is readily available if required.
