Safeguarding, Protection & Welfare

Loch Eck Orienteers wants everyone to stay safe, feel welcome and have fun while taking part in orienteering. We all have a shared responsibility for safeguarding and creating safe, enjoyable environments in orienteering whether as an participant, coach, club official, volunteer, parent or spectator.

Our sport is committed to safeguarding the welfare of everyone in the sport and supporting their wellbeing. Loch Eck Orienteers embraces the responsibility to promote the health and wellbeing of participants by providing opportunities for them to participate in a safe and enjoyable environment, and to implement ensure adequate policies and support is in place to protect those participating from harm, bullying, abuse and exploitation.
The EckO Welfare Officer is always there if you need any support or would like any advice.
