Paddlesports are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. By taking part, we accept these risks and take responsibility for our own actions and involvement.
Report a safety incident
An incident form must be completed when there is any accident, injury, near miss or other significant event involving a club member (during a club activity), club equipment or on club property.
You need to complete an Incident Report Form and send a copy of the confirmation email to safety@marlowcc.org.uk. We will send it to Paddle UK on your behalf.
Policies
The club has a duty of care towards people taking part in club activities. You can read about how we keep people safe in our Health and Safety Manual. We have made a risk assessment of the likely hazards that could be encountered on club activities. Our Coaching and Leadership Policy describes how we will assess the competence and capabilities of an individual before allowing them to take responsibility in leading a paddlesport activity. Our Duty Officer policy describes how we supervise straightforward local club sessions in a safe environment.
