Safeguarding Statement

The Scottish Association of Motor Sports Clubs is committed to the safeguarding of children and of adults at risk. All Association Officers, Representatives, Delegates and Appointees should show respect and understanding for the rights, safety and welfare of others and conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of the Association.

The Association encourages and expects all its Member Clubs to implement and publicise their own Safeguarding Policies for the welfare of their members and to comply with policy, guidance and best practice as issued by Motorsport UK.

Key principles of safeguarding policy are:

    • The welfare of the child or the adult at risk is, and must always be, paramount to any other consideration.

    • All children and all adults at risk, regardless of age, gender, ability or disability, race, faith, culture, size, shape, language or sexual identity have the right to be protected from abuse or harm.

    • All allegations, suspicions or concerns of abuse, neglect or harm will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly.

    • A child is anyone under the age of 18 engaged in any motor sport activity.

The Association recognises that all children and all adults at risk have the right to participate in sport in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment whilst at the same time being protected from abuse, neglect, harm and poor practice. The Association further recognises that this is the responsibility of every adult involved, in whatever capacity.

Any concerns or issues in relation to safeguarding should be referred in the first instance to the Safeguarding Officer for the relevant Motorsport Club or Motorsport Event.
