Canoe England is committed to ensure that children and vulnerable adults enjoy Paddlesport in a safe environment in which they are protected from any form of poor practice or abuse.
Working with the NSPCC, Child Protection in Sport Unit and WT Associates, Canoe England has developed both policies and procedures to support everyone involved in our sport and we will investigate all reported concerns or allegations.
