  • your organisation or club welfare officer
  • your county or regional welfare officer (bottom of page)
  • Swim England National Safeguarding Team:
  • Kevin Suckling, Head of Safeguarding and Welfare
  • National Safeguarding Manager
  • James Diamond, National Safeguarding Case Manager (NSCM)
  • Safeguarding Case Officer

  • Email: safeguarding@swimming.org
    Tel: 01509 640 700 (Option 1 for Swim England and then Option 3 for Safeguarding)
  • For anyone with concerns about any aspect of their swimming experience, or that of a child or adult at risk, please contact safeguarding@swimming.org or 01509 640700 (Option 1 for Swim England and then Option 3 for Safeguarding).

In an emergency

If you believe a child has been harmed or may be at immediate risk of harm, and you are unable to contact your welfare officer or the Swim England safeguarding team please make immediate contact with an appropriate agency, such as:

  • The Police
  • Children’s Services
  • Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)
  • Local Authority Designated officer (LADO)
  • NSPCC Child Protection Helpline

Take the name and contact details of the person you have spoken to, plus the incident / referral reference number (if applicable) so you have a record of the advice they give.

Then report this to the club welfare officer and the Swim England safeguarding team the next working day.
