A BASINGSTOKE martial arts academy is leading the charge in sports safeguarding.
Shin Gi Tai Martial Arts Academy has successfully attained the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts.
Achieving the Safeguarding Code, demonstrates Shin Gi Tai’s commitment to upholding its duty of care to the community and young people and is recognised through this as a martial arts provider that has reached and effectively maintained good safeguarding standards.
The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created so that parents and carers can clearly identify a martial arts provider that have demonstrated that they have reached and maintained good safeguarding standards and can make informed decisions when selecting a club for their child.

“When making choices about martial arts schools, parents and carers can easily determine, and be reassured that clubs in their local area are committed to safeguarding and upholding safe practices for their children if they display the Safeguarding Code ‘mark’.”
Mandi Miles, welfare officer at Shin Gi Tai, said: “The safeguarding and welfare of our members is paramount and parents looking for their children to start in any sport should ensure that the clubs they are looking at take this extremely seriously.”
