My role as the CWO is to take the lead in the county on welfare and protection issues and ensure the appropriate action is taken when there is a potential/alleged abuse, bullying or poor practice. It is not my role to investigate fully any allegations made. I have undertaken Child Protection training provided by national golfing bodies and others. Child protection concerns will be reported to the police/Social Services Department as appropriate.

If the England Golf Lead Safeguarding Officer is not available and a delay cannot be justified then seek advice from the local County Council Safeguarding Adults Team or County Council Social Care-Emergency Duty Team.
