Crash Box & Classic Car Club Safeguarding Policy
Events
Events that are organised by the Club tend to consist of static displays, car runs or social events such as Club Nights.
Club organisers must consider the likelihood of children or vulnerable adults being present and must consider the need for additional procedures at larger or new events e.g. lost children at the Historic Vehicle Gathering or similar events.
Under most circumstances in the Club, children and vulnerable adults will be under the supervision and care of the parents or carers. However, there may be some circumstances where this is not the case. Wherever possible, it is strongly recommended that the child / vulnerable adult remains in the sight of other people and is not alone with an individual member (one possible exception being when they are part of the same family unit).
As a general rule, Club members should always be in sight of others when children or vulnerable adults are present and not be alone with a child or vulnerable adult – i.e. ensure a parent, carer or other responsible adult is present. As a result, activities like giving rides to children or vulnerable adults in Club member’s cars when no other responsible adult is present, must be avoided. This helps protect the vulnerable, and the Club as well as any member, however well intentioned.
Reporting Concerns
Indicators of abuse should always be taken seriously and any concerns should be reported:
- At events to the event organiser who will, if possible, deal with the issue at the time and report the incident as soon as possible to the Club’s Safeguarding Officer. In extreme circumstances it may be necessary to report the concern to the statutory services. (Social Services or the Police)
- At Club meetings or events, the incident must be reported to the Club’s Safeguarding Officer or if required, to the statutory services.
- The Club’s dedicated email address of safeguarding@crashboxclub.co.uk can be used.
A written report should be produced whenever a safeguarding concern is raised and submitted to the Club’s Safeguarding Officer who will keep a record of all such reports.
