Equality, Safeguarding and Child Protection

The Keep Fit Association takes seriously its moral and legal responsibility to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from abuse and our aim is to ensure that all participants are kept safe from harm and enjoy the positive benefits of all exercise, movement and dance related activities.

The Keep Fit Association, through its partnership with EMDP, has achieved its intermediate level of the NSPCC standards for safeguarding and protecting children in sport. Please find further safeguarding information from EMD UK, including useful contacts, here.
