Safe and Positive Experience

For Everybody

We want to ensure that your experience on our boats and taking part in any activities is a safe and positive experience for everybody.

Everyone involved has a part to play in safeguarding any person at risk, which includes employees, contractors, volunteers, customers and sail trainees.

To safeguard and protect any person at risk, it is important to report any concerns.

Safeguarding Reporting Procedure

If there is no immediate risk but you have concerns about the welfare of someone, or you have concerns about the behaviour or practice of anyone else involved then please contact a member of management and/or email: safeguarding@maybe-sailing.com.
