Safeguarding Adults
EMD UK wants to ensure that adults are protected whilst exercising. EMD UK has developed their Adult Safeguarding Policy so that all involved know what processes and procedures to follow and who they can contact for help if they have any safeguarding concerns. You can download the policy below.
If you have a concern about an adult at risk, please contact an EMD UK Safeguarding Officer on 01403 266000 or safeguarding@emduk.org
You can also contact your local authority or the police if you have urgent concerns.

It includes an overview of everything you need to know for your fitness business, including links to additional support and learning.
