Kent Golf is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and positive environment for all individuals involved in golf. Safeguarding duties apply to an adult who: 

• Has needs for care and support (whether or not the local authority is meeting any of those needs) and; 
• Is experiencing, or is at risk of, abuse or neglect; and; 
• As a result of those care and support needs is unable to protect themselves from either the risk of, or the experience of, abuse or neglect.
