Company Policies and Welfare
Fairness and Equity
Sports Equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing culture and structure of sport to ensure it becomes equally accessible to everyone in society.
Swim Enfield is committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat of discrimination, intimidation, harassment and abuse.
A Safe Environment
Swim Enfield is committed to a club environment in which all children participating in its activities have a safe, positive and enjoyable experience in a safe and child centred environment, regardless of age, ability or disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, and socio-economic background, and are protected from abuse whilst participating in swim training or lessons or outside of the activity.
