Overview
The Humber Squash Academy is committed to creating a safe environment for children and young people involved in the game of squash.

The Humber Squash Academy recognises that many people who offend against children and young people are not caught and that offending can be undetected for many years. This means people who offend may not have a criminal record or even a history of allegations against them. Recognising this the Humber Squash Academy England Squash sits this statement alongside the England Squash Child Protection in Squash Policy.

Mission Statement

1. The Humber Squash Academy will comply fully with the CRB code of practice and will treat all existing staff and volunteers fairly.
2. The Humber Squash Academy ensures that all coaches and volunteers have undertaken an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau Check administered by England Squash or through the Local Authority Sports Development Service.
3. The Humber Squash Academy is committed to recruiting and retaining volunteers and to their fair treatment regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, sensory impairment, physical or learning disability or offending background. The Humber Squash Academy recognises the importance of a mix of talent, skills, potential, background, knowledge and experience and wishes to recruit and retain volunteers on this basis. The Humber Squash Academy wishes to positively welcome a wide range of people who can provide role models and support to all children and young people.
4. The Humber Squash Academy will ensure that all persons involved in making decisions or recommendations on its behalf following a CRB check are themselves subject to similar vetting and are properly trained with full knowledge of all the relevant statutory requirements and codes of practice.
5. The Humber Squash Academy requires all coaches and volunteers involved in the organisation and delivering to young people to have attended a Sports Coach UK Safeguarding & Protecting Young People workshop and a minimum of a 4-hour Emergency First Aid course (both valid for 3 years).
6. All coaches will also hold a valid England Squash Coaching Qualification and be expected to maintain their Continuous Professional Development through having an England Squash Coaching License which is updated yearly.
