Safeguarding and risk assessment

Archery should be safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Hinckley Archery Club prides itself on being an inclusive and friendly club, committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all its members, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religion. 

At all times, our members, coaches, administrators and parents should show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others.

Members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns that they may have about any aspect of the club with the Safeguarding Officer.

Our club should offer a positive experience where members can take part and develop their skills in a safe and positive environment.

All members of this club are expected to abide by the AGB Codes of Conduct and Rules of Shooting.
