Policy on Junior Archers

Junior Archers

Nonsuch Bowmen welcomes junior archers from the age of 10.

Parents

The club will not accept any responsibility of care towards junior archers. This means that a parent or guardian must remain with the junior archer at all times, including actively supervising them while they are shooting, to both ensure they are safe and also that they are able to get home afterwards.

The Club

The club has subscribed in full to GNAS' Policy on Protection of Children & Vulnerable Adults. A copy is available either from the "Documents" page on the GNAS website, or the club. This means that:

  • The club has a zero tolerance of bullying or abuse towards children.
  • The club has a complaints procedure in place.
  • The club has ensured that all active coaches have been been CRB checked as required by GNAS
  • The club has a registered Child Protection Officer who deals with such matters and is accountable to the governing organisation, and not the club.

Shooting

At present, the majority of our junior archers choose to attend on a Saturday afternoon. We suggest that other juniors try to attend on Saturdays to shoot with others of their own age. However, they are welcome at any time.
