STGC is proud to be the ninth club in Kent to achieve the SafeGolf club accreditation from England Golf.

 

SafeGolf is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf.

​

Our current Welfare Officer is Tony Allen. ​

​

To find out more about the principles of SafeGolf, go to the www.safegolf.org website. Through this channel, anyone with a concern about the welfare of a player or the behaviour or practice of a coach, volunteer, organiser, parent or a player, can contact the lead safeguarding officer at their national governing body. Secondly, it is the safeguarding standard England Golf promotes to all its affiliated clubs to ensure all clubs provide a safe and positive experience to children and young people whilst playing golf. The PGA is also using the standards to apply to all its PGA professional Coaches.
