More testimonials...

We joined the British Karate Club Confederation in April 2007. I heard about it through some friends who said it was part of the Toyakwai Karate Association, but the BKCC offered more flexible approach to teaching other martial arts.

Since we joined the BKCC and its parent association the TKA has help us with promoting our club and with ideas on the day to day running of things, without being pushy.  Help and advice is readily available through the Instructor Resource Centre.

We think it has been a good move for our club.

NEWTS Martial Arts Committee

Go talk to other parents about their experience of the group - are they confident their children are in safe hands?

Ask the staff and volunteers if they have been CRB checked and how long they have been involved with the club/group?

Ask the Police or Local Authority if they have any links with the group?

Is the club/group well-known in the local community?

How long has it existed?

Is it known to local schools, churches, health centres, youth and community services?

Ask how many adults will supervise the children, will your child always be with other children and never left alone with an adult or adults?

What are the changing and toilet arrangements?

Does the group encourage parents to get involved?

Has the group produced a written policy which clearly states its commitment to protect the children in it's care from abuse?

An established Syllabus is important! Is it lodged with a bigger organisation?

Is the club part of a bigger organisation with clear child protection rules?

Does it state the qualifications and responsibilities of staff and volunteers?

Is there a qualified first-aider on hand?
