Safeguarding and Inclusion: Our Commitment
At Sovereign Taekwondo, the safety, welfare, and inclusion of our members always come first. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where everyone can train with confidence.
As an organisation with multiple affiliated clubs, all Sovereign TKD clubs, instructors, and volunteers are required to follow the same safeguarding standards and commitments.
Our instructors complete safeguarding and inclusion training appropriate to their roles, and we regularly review our practices and carry out risk assessments to help maintain a safe environment for all participants.
We encourage an open and supportive culture where any concerns can be raised appropriately and handled sensitively and confidentially.
Sovereign Taekwondo adopts and operates under all current safeguarding and welfare policies issued by Taekwondo Council UK (TCUK). All safeguarding, welfare, conduct, and associated policies can be accessed through the TCUK safeguarding section via the links below. As these policies are maintained centrally by TCUK, updates automatically apply across all Sovereign TKD affiliated clubs.
