How do England Squash ensure Squash Stars sessions are appropriately safeguarded?

England Squash requires all clubs to be affiliated and have a welfare officer in place or for a facility to provide England Squash with the contact details for their safeguarding lead.

All of our leaders complete a specific training course to deliver sessions. As part of their commitment to safeguarding, we ensure they complete a safeguarding course and hold a valid DBS. Each club and facility delivering Squash Stars will have a first aider present at each session.

More generally, the equipment provided in the starter bundle is age appropriate and safe to use. We recommend parents check their equipment when it arrives to see if there has been any damage whilst being delivered. If you spot any issues with the equipment, please email squashstarskit@dmcsport.co.uk.
