We believe that the welfare of children and adults at risk is everyone’s responsibility, particularly when it comes to protecting children from abuse. Everyone in fencing – administrator, club official, coach, parent, friend, children themselves, everyone – can help.

BF Affiliated Clubs and BF Licensed Events must all have a nominated Welfare Official. This is part of our commitment as a National Governing Body to uphold the NSPCC CPSU safeguarding in sport framework, aligning to standard practice in order to create the safest environment possible to take part in sport.
