Welfare

We believe that the welfare of children is everyone's responsibility and that all children and young people have a right to have fun, be safe and be protected from harm.

Nottingham Leander is committed to treat everyone equally within the context of their activity, regardless of sex, ethnic origin, religion, disability or political persuasion.

The Club follows the Swim England Wavepower recommendations for child safeguarding and protection.

Members of Nottingham Leander benefit from Swim England's general insurance cover which includes Civil Liability Cover, Employer’s Liability, Personal Accident Insurance (limited insurance for 70-85 yrs) and Legal Expenses Insurance.

Nottingham Leander Policies and Constitution can be found on our Code of Conduct page.
