Safeguarding
Committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our students.
Achieving – and maintaining – the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts mark demonstrates our continued commitment to safeguarding our coaches and students.
At Tiger Crane Kung Fu, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our coaches and students in all club-related activities.
We believe that all people should be treated equally and given equal opportunities, free from bullying, abuse, or any other form of unacceptable behaviour.
We are very proud to have successfully attained the Sport England Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts mark, as recommended by our governing body, Kickboxing GB. The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts aims to reward martial arts clubs, organisations, or individuals who exercise good safeguarding practices, and to assist parents and carers when searching for a suitable martial arts club.
We attained the mark in 2021, and are proud to have passed all subsequent Annual Health Checks – demonstrating our continued commitment to safeguarding our students and coaches.
Codes of Conduct
Any true martial artist should behave honourably and with integrity, and we expect all of our instructors and students to uphold these values.
From a Safeguarding perspective, we are committed to the following Codes of Conduct, and ask all instructors, parents, children and young persons involved in our activities to follow them.

If you have a complaint
We do recognise that, from time to time, we can get things wrong, and we want to know when this happens so that we can continue to provide the best possible service to you.
When things go wrong, we would like to sort things out with you quickly and informally, and invite you to get in touch with your Instructor, or with Head Instructor Dave Courtney Jones. Should this fail, we have a complaints procedure in place.
As a professional organisation we will take all complaints very seriously.
