SAFE GUARDING

At our karate club, the safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities.

That’s why we ensure that all of our instructors are fully DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and approved.

This rigorous process helps to guarantee that every instructor has been thoroughly vetted and is qualified to teach in a safe and professional environment.

Our team is made up of experienced and dedicated instructors who are not only skilled in karate but also in fostering a supportive and welcoming atmosphere for students of all ages.

By being DBS checked, we provide peace of mind for both parents and students, knowing that all instructors have met the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

This commitment reflects our core values of respect, responsibility, and trust, which are fundamental to our dojo.

When you train with us, you can feel confident that you are in good hands. Our instructors are passionate about teaching karate and are committed to creating a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where everyone can thrive.

DBS CERTIFICATION

WHAT IS DBS?

DBS stands for Disclosure and Barring Service, which is a government service in the UK that helps employers make safer recruitment decisions by providing background checks on individuals.
The service is primarily used to check whether a person has any criminal convictions, cautions, or warnings, particularly those that would make them unsuitable to work with vulnerable groups, such as children or vulnerable adults.
For instructors in karate clubs, being DBS checked means they have undergone this process to ensure they are legally allowed to work with students, offering peace of mind to parents and participants that the environment is safe and secure.
It is a standard requirement for anyone who works closely with children, ensuring that only individuals with a clean record are entrusted with their care and instruction.

SAFETY

At our karate club, your safety is our top priority. We are committed to providing a secure, supportive, and respectful environment for all our students. Our instructors are fully trained and experienced in creating a safe space where students of all ages and abilities can learn and grow. We closely supervise all classes, ensuring that safety guidelines are followed and that students are taught how to perform techniques correctly to avoid injury. We also take extra precautions during physical activities, ensuring that warm-ups and cool-downs are included in every session to prevent strain or overexertion.
In addition to physical safety, we emphasise mental and emotional well-being.
Our dojo is a place where respect, discipline, and support are paramount.

Every student is encouraged to train at their own pace and within their own limits, and we foster an environment where every individual feels comfortable and valued.
We also ensure that our training equipment is regularly checked and maintained to meet safety standards. Whether it’s mats, protective gear, or other equipment, we strive to provide the best resources to keep our students safe during their training sessions.

At our club, safety isn’t just about protecting physical health—it's about fostering a culture of respect and care, where every student can feel confident and secure as they work toward their goals.
