EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY
The Club have recently adopted an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, as recommended by England Golf. We have also adopted a set of Disciplinary Regulations which sit alongside the Equality Policy.

Golf belongs to everyone. All who play or aspire to play, must have an equal opportunity to do so. In broad terms, what we are saying is that we will ensure that all our activities, be they competitions, events or other activities, will be carried out in a fair and equitable way. We will not discriminate against anyone on the basis of what are called ‘Protected Characteristics. These are defined in the Equality Act 2010.

The Disciplinary Regulations are there to ensure that we have procedures in place to deal with any alleged breaches of club rules, regulations and policies. We would certainly hope and expect that there will not be a need for these Regulations to be used, but they are there to ensure that we are able to deal with any issues that do arise. It should be noted that, where appropriate, matters can be resolved informally.

SafeGolf is a partnership of UK & Ireland golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf.

SafeGolf consists of members from the golfing bodies across Great Britain & Ireland and has been established to help golf respond to the issue of child protection in sport. Its mission is to safeguard the welfare of children and young people, as well as adults at risk, in the sport of golf. This will be achieved through a unique partnership which has the ability to influence and act as advocate for safeguarding across the golfing landscape, developing a consistent approach towards ensuring that all people have a fun, safe and positive experience when playing golf.
