We're committed to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for every woman and girl who walks through our door.
"We aim to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone to enjoy playing chess."
Our full safeguarding policy sets out how we create a safe, enjoyable and inclusive space for everyone — across clear rules, inclusivity, welcoming environment, resources and support, safety, fair play, community engagement, and how we implement it all. It also incorporates our GDPR & data protection commitments and our approach to member advocacy.
The complete document covers our safeguarding approach, the ECF safeguarding framework we follow, what data we collect and how we protect it, and how we support members through advocacy.
If you have a safeguarding concern — about yourself, another member, or anything you've witnessed at the club — please contact us at info@londonwomenchess.org.uk. Concerns are handled confidentially.
We follow the English Chess Federation safeguarding framework. For more, see Safeguarding and the ECF.
