Safeguarding and welfare stand as unwavering cornerstones of Lancaster and Morecambe Hockey Club's commitment to our members' safety and well-being. We take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness, whether our players are seniors or juniors. To uphold these principles, we adhere to the recommendations put forth by the EH (England Hockey).

Our dedication to safeguarding is evident through a rigorous process that includes DBS checks for all coaches, umpires, captains, and key committee members. Moreover, they receive comprehensive training in Safeguarding Principles, regularly updating their knowledge and skills by undertaking relevant courses. This ensures that everyone entrusted with the care and development of our players is equipped with the latest knowledge and best practices in safeguarding.

This sense of duty is reflected not only in our management of training sessions and matches but also in our interactions with club members and parents, as well as our consideration of social activities. We are committed to fostering an environment where every individual feels secure, valued, and respected.
