Naturist Outreach Group
Adults and Children’s Safeguarding Policy
The Naturist Outreach Group is a member group of British Naturism (BN). In accordance with their recommendations we have adopted their safeguarding policy for both Children and Adults. A copy of the safeguarding policies can be found both oh the BN website and, on our website, (www.naturistoutreachgroup.com).
This is an additional statement to the National BN adults and children’s safeguarding policy outlining the specific requirements to our group.
The Naturist Outreach Group run naturist events that reflect the interests of the members. There are two different kinds of official events, (Official events are events that have been agreed within the Naturist Outreach Group management group and publicised on the Outreach Naturist website):
- Some events will take place in landed/established BN member naturist clubs, during these events we will adhere to the safeguarding policies of the host club.
- Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility; thus, it is still the responsibility of our club members to follow the correct procedures if they have any concerns about individuals. In these events this should initially be undertaken by following the host club’s policy/procedures, however if there are difficulties with those policy/procedures the individual can follow the procedures as set out in the flowcharts listed on our website.
- Other events will be arranged for locations away from landed/established BN member clubs, so if there are concerns about individuals at these events the procedures as set out in the policy/flowcharts on our website should be followed.
- Responsibilities
- Management Group and the safeguarding officer have the responsibility to ensure that the organisers/leaders of official events are aware of the safeguarding policy and who to contact should concerns be raised.
- The management group and the safeguarding officer also need to confirm that the host landed/established BN member naturist club has an up to date safeguarding policy and if not, our safeguarding can be used. (If there is no up to date safeguarding policy further discussion should take place on additional action)
- The management group and the safeguarding officer, will inform all the members that we have a safeguarding policy for both Children and Adults
- Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility; thus, it is the responsibility of all our club members to follow the correct procedures if they have any concerns about individuals.
