Keeping young people and adults safe during training and competition can ensure that they have fun in a friendly and supportive environment.
This page and linked documents set out British Triathlon’s policies and procedures in fulfilment of its belief in and commitment to safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk.
All our qualified coaches and activators have undergone DBS checks and are required to complete regular safeguarding training through the BTF/UK Coaching.
