 Safeguarding at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club  (safeguarding@mwbc.org.uk)

Safeguarding describes how we protect adults, children and young people from abuse and neglect. It means proactively protecting those who may be vulnerable or at risk of abuse or neglect due to the actions, or lack of action, of another person.
