Highgate Harriers take the welfare of our Young Athletes seriously, and have two dedicated Child Welfare Officers.
If you have any issues or concerns please contact either of the above in the strictest confidence. Both Lucy and James (pictured below) hold the NSPCC Child Protection In Sport qualification and both have completed England Athletics online Safeguarding course.
All Young Athlete’s coaches are UKA qualified and hold current DBS checks, and many have attended the UKA recognised Safeguarding Children course. Highgate Harriers have Codes of Conduct for Athletes, Coaches and Parents, please make sure you read and adhere to these Codes which are available on our website.
