776 Gymnastics, Cheer, and Dance

Anti Bullying Policy

Anti-bullying Policy 776 Gymnastics, Cheer, and Dance is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all our members. We believe it is important that participants, coaches, administrators, and parents always show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others.

Therefore, we promote openness and encourage everyone to share concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with the Welfare Officer or Head Coach. Our Anti-Bullying Policy has been designed with our entire membership in mind; we recognize that an abuser may be from different groups within our organization and that bullying can take various forms, such as physical, psychological, racist, sexual, aggressive verbal, or online through social media sites and emails. By educating all our members about the symptoms that may indicate that a person may be the victim of a bully and understanding a typical victim and bully, we will promote zero tolerance for bullying.

776 Gymnastics will; 

  • Create an open environment at all times. Provide adequate supervision at all training sessions and trips away
  • Encourage children to speak out and share any concerns with a person in charge, welfare officer, or other responsible adult
  • Take all signs of possible bullying seriously. Never condemn someone for “telling.” Have discussions with coaches, gymnasts, and other club officials about bullying and why it matters.
  • Make adults within the club aware of the signs and symptoms of bullying. Ensure that the 776 Gymnastics, Dance, and Cheer Complaints procedures deal with all cases of bullying

To discuss any aspects of the policy in more detail or to highlight any alleged bullying, please get in touch with the Welfare office (info@776gymnastics.co.uk)

NO ONE DESERVES TO BE A VICTIM OF BULLYING; EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT
