Martial arts academy in Northampton achieves top marks for child safeguarding

Northampton club, Endurance Martial Arts Academy, is leading the charge in sports safeguarding, having successfully attained the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts “mark”.

Achieving the Safeguarding Code, demonstrates Endurance Martial Arts Academy’s commitment to upholding its duty-of-care to the community and young people and recognises Endurance Martial Arts Academy as a martial arts provider that has reached and effectively maintained good safeguarding standards.

The Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts has been created so that parents and carers can clearly identify a martial arts provider that have demonstrated that they have reached and maintained good safeguarding standards and can make informed decisions when selecting a club for their child.

Sue Harrison, stakeholder marketing at the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts, said: “We are delighted to see that so many clubs, including Endurance Martial Arts Academy, have successfully attained the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts.

“When making choices about martial arts schools, parents and carers can easily determine, and be reassured that clubs in their local area are committed to safeguarding and upholding safe practices for their children if they display the Safeguarding Code ‘mark’.”

Shak Ahmed, chief instructor at Endurance Martial Arts Academy, said: “We’re proud that we have attained the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts. As a parent myself, it’s important to know your child is in a safe environment special in today’s world.

“I’m proud of the team at Endurance Martial Arts Academy leading the way in Northampton, the safety of our students in our first priority."
