Whiston Taekwondo has achieved the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts, which demonstrates our commitment to upholding its duty-of-care to the community and young people and recognises that Whiston Taekwondo as a martial arts provider that has reached and effectively maintained good safeguarding standards.
The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created so that parents and carers can clearly identify a martial arts provider that has demonstrated that they have reached and maintained good safeguarding standards and can make informed decisions when selecting a club for their child.
The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts was launched by the Sports Minister in 2018, to date over 1300 clubs and settings have now attained the Code.
We are proud to announce, that Whiston Taekwondo is the only WTF club in Liverpool that holds the Safeguarding Code Mark. If anyone would like information regarding what safeguarding is about, then please follow the link for further Safeguarding Course Information
