For Children
To be informed of updates please sign up for our occasional news email.
We hope that young people will enjoy their golf and that golf will involve them throughout their life. Young people have a responsibility to make sure that they act in a way that does not prevent others from enjoying the sport, and that they speak out if they are worried about anything. Speak to your club Welfare Officer, or another adult if you have any worries or concerns.
If you are worried about anything, however small, it is important that you speak to someone, so that they may help you. Your Club or County Welfare officer is there to help you, or you could speak to your Junior Organiser.
The Child Protection in Sport helpline is an anonymous line where you can talk through your concerns without fear of the consequences. Call them on 0808 800 5000.
If you are a member of a club, or play for a team, your Junior Organiser or Team Manager may ask you to sign a "Code of Conduct". This is in place to make sure that you understand what standard of behaviour they expect from you. It is important that you read through its contents and discuss this with your parents. There is an example of a Code of Conduct within the Guidelines on this site in Appendix 4F.
Golf is a sport to be enjoyed by all, and you should always treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. If you are uncomfortable or worried about the way that you are being treated by other juniors, your coach, or other adults involved in golf, you should talk to your Welfare Officer or Junior Organiser as they will be able to help you.
