Many of you will be aware of the impending introduction of ISAs, there are immense implications for sport and the CCPR are on top of the situation but meanshile -

SAFEGUARDING VULNERABLE GROUPS ACT 2006

England Fencing is aware of the new Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006) and Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA). We are aware there are some minor changes to legislation this autumn, but that the key parts of the Act relevant for sport will not have an impact until July 2010.

This gives us a full year to prepare and to provide clear guidance for members at every level of our organisation but until the Government has issued the guidance specific to the sport and leisure sector England Fencing is not in a position to make detailed plans, nor to consult in an informed way with members.

England Fencing/BFA will work closely with CCPR and other relevant organisations to plan, consult and deliver information and guidance to members in such a way that ensures our organisation and its members are fully compliant with the requirements of the Act.

In the meantime England Fencing strongly advises members to follow all BFA guidance on best practice in safeguarding children
